I don't understand why developers put themselves on such a pedestal here. I have very few real world problems which require deep non-technical knowledge. That deep non-technical knowledge is worth something far more than, perhaps, the ability to scale out an app to 300k users. I'd say it's right on par with the ability to quickly iterate a solution for product match. Knowing the domain reduces market fit risks faster than figuring out the domain while searching for fit.

What I think the real underlying issue is all the "I need a technical founder who is willing to build my idea but only share in 1% of the upside" people. They're equivalent to the spam mail recruiters which plague our industry.

You forgot eg the person I just met, the "willing to pay $75k/year [proposed pay cut] to build my idea but only share in a tiny percent of the upside".
