Unless YC is promising to fund these researchers for life they'll pretty much have to, or else they'll never get back on the treadmill once the YC money runs out.

That's not true. University professors have sabbaticals, and can also go on extended leave for multiple years and return just fine.

Professors on sabbatical are expected to produce things that matter to academia.
