Sure, but your speculation suggests that the "often" is enough to explain the parent's downvotes. I think there's a better explanation that doesn't impugn certain "types" of people. I'm just speculating too of course.

Just out of curiosity, what do you think is a better (and more probable) answer?

Sorry I just saw this - it's what I said in my original comment that you replied to, I think a better and more probable explanation is that people "have a lot of respect for the difficulty of building the business side of an organization and for the folks who can do it well, [but that they] think that it is unwise to build a business based mostly on sales and marketing without focusing enough on the quality of the product itself".
