I think his line of thinking is more like, why spend so much time trying to get X to work, when I can just do Y and make the same amount of money? Unless you really really want to run a successful restaurant, he's not wrong.
If it takes 1/10th the effort to run a cleaning business and make $1m a year, vs a tech business, would you do it? Some people would, others won't. Operating in a space with (not just normal but) extreme cut throat competition can get tiring after a while as well.

And even if you really want to run a successful restaurant, capital doesn't give a fuck. Banks won't lend you more money because you have a passion. Investors won't either.
