They don’t. Why would they. Alot of them are just complete grifters and waiting for that big pay day in the sky after they get acquired by FAAAAAANNNNNGGGG or any number of the subsidiary’s. If your app claims to “revolutionise” something completely mundane and trivial like getting a shower or eating a sandwich and you value it at $5 billion then it’s a load of bollocks.

Agreed. And when did 'disruption' become a good thing? Good for the founders' pockets, bad for everyone else.

While I agree to some extent I also beg to differ. How many of us happily use Google or Whatsapp for example. But leave the software world and look at startups in the hardware space really trying to solve challenges in the environmental sector. Often either completely ignored despite breakthrough technology just because another flavor of the month like AI comes along. Most of their founders I wager did not start hoping for a big pay check. Just saying.
