It turns out that satisfying the author's definition of "major" requires more than 10 years.
Is it so shocking that a company like Uber is not as valuable as a company that's been around five years longer (and happens to be wildly valuable)? In other news, humans born in the last ten years are not as tall as humans born more than ten years ago. Is there something wrong with today's humans?
For the giants, the author describes them as being able to "launch with modest amounts of money and reach profitability within a few years." Seems like quite a few companies have done the same within the last decade. Time will tell if they grow to be behemoths.
