Everything you listed as "the bar" are just things everyone knows already. And don't contribute towards game development time, aside from localization, which isn't expected except by chinese players.

Thing is, the tools and literal hand-in-hand tutorials for indies are what make those a non-issue. It's extremely easy to make a game these days, and release it.
