> if people don't wanna write books anymore unless they already have financial stability
This is less about want and more about means (people wanting to write books but not having the freedom to invest their time in it if they don't have pre-existing financial stability).
But... this is currently the case. 50% of books published by the "big 5" publishing houses sell less than 12 copies (source: recent Penguin Random House antitrust case). The chances of any writer making any money on a book they write is close to zero even if they get a publishing deal with a major publisher.
The current system of copyright doesn't protect writers (nor motivate them to write); it only protects monopoly.
