People will give different reasons but there is really only one true reason once you get to the heart of the matter:
"You don't trust yourself"
All the reasons you see listed in this thread are rationalisations your mind comes up with to trick yourself. When you think of them logically, they are pretty trivial.
Through our upbringing, we are taught to listen to others. That our ideas and opinions must be suppressed because it could make others feel bad. After years of this brainwashing we start to believe it deep down. Watch children. They just say things and do things without thinking. They are acting naturally. They don't worry if something isn't going to work out. They just do it. "Excuse" doesn't exist in their vocabulary.
You used to be like this. And you can train yourself to be like this again.
If you're interested in trying to overcome these obstacles, I've put together a course relating to these topics as it relates to programming. It's available at https://www.programmingspiritually.com
Children do trust themselves. They trust themselves to survive a three story fall onto concrete. They trust themselves to know that house-hold cleaners are delicious. They trust themselves to survive getting hit by that car.
I don't trust myself to make a profitable business with my current resources. You're right about that. Where I disagree with you is your implication that I should.
There's no reason why you need to start with a profitable business that utilizes all your resources; you could always put together something smaller that doesn't take up all your time!
