Normal people will have a hard time breaking out of their community, and success will look like acquiring the right credentials to appear in the trusted places.

That's been the trajectory for at least the last 100 years, an endless procession of certifications. Just like you can no longer get a decent-paying blue collar job without at least an HS diploma or equivalent, the days of working in tech without a university education are drying up and have been doing so for a while now.
