Completely indie films are films that the filmmaker/director/auteur can launch, complete, and distribute on their own. Outside of Hollywood or streamers.
The reasons to make these movies:
1 - Hollywood movies and shows, also streamers' movies and shows, are not very good. It's watered down formulaic content. Real indie arthouse movies can be much better.
2 - It's art making. A way to live. A way to connect with the world.
3 - The full story of the world can be told. Diverse movies. Post-colonial and anti-colonial movies. Healthy movies - not insane ultra-capitalist maximalist nightmare movies :). Movies where positive aspects of life can be celebrated, enjoyed.
