In theory you are right, but in reality, when you are faced with multiple choices of startup ideas, shouldn't this be a major factor on deciding which one to act on?

No.

The market, and your understanding of it, should be a major factor. The fact that 800 pound gorillas have more resources is just an excuse to not do something.

Besides, those resources could just as easily be used to acquire your idea if you do it better.
