There must always be a path for someone who wants it badly enough to be able to self custody. But the goal should definitely not be to make it possible for everyone to self custody simultaneously.
badly enough
Problem: as more people want it badly enough, fewer people will be able to afford wanting it badly enough.
At what point does the cost of making a transaction become high enough that someone who wants it badly enough simply doesn't have the money to pay for it?

"There must always be a path for someone who wants private jet travel badly enough to be able to" doesn't mean very much because most people will never be able to afford it.
Rather than saying that a person doesn't want it badly enough, I'd say they don't have the option.
Buying a ticket on one of these rockets that take people to space is higher than most people are willing to pay. Sure, they don't want it badly enough, but any system that purports to "always have a path to space" but requires hundreds of thousands of dollars obviously isn't a system that is widely available.
