This kind of gives it away ''but composing for commercials means being an engineer, dexterous composer, and multi-instrumentalist'' which counts out anything that is indie rock in the original sense

Music making tools are pretty much available now to anyone in mainland Europe/USA. This is as good a way to sort the wheat from the chaff, at least in that small area that is 'popular catchy rock songs that appeal to a wide demographic' You're still pretty fucked if you want to form a free jazz ensemble, doom rock chamber orchestra or just about anything that doesn't fit in with the view/needs of marketing executives

As for saving Indie Rock , well that died a long time ago and however hard you kick the corpse it's staying dead
