That's already the case more or less. You can run deepseek lite with a $20k GPU. $20k is not outside the realm of what many people can run if they band together. You could a group of 5-6 buddies and all pitch in, it's not out of the question. $20k is what the upper middle class pays for fancy toys.
Running AI locally is the future of AI. Big companies will do everything to prevent this because they won't profit from it. They'll use the government to regulate as best they can... But it will be inevitable.

Deepseek lite is junk however.
