I agree, an MVP is not a business. I would not expect that a business would be built in a few weeks or even months. My personal experience with businesses is that they take years.
But we're not talking about building a business. You do not launch an MVP and call it a business.
I was specifically talking about proving a business case for a solution that could turn into a business. This is precisely what the things we call 'MVPs' are mean't to be for.
Then what exactly were you talking about when you wrote this:
> businesses with basically 0 startup capital requirements, > 90% margins and minimal time commitments ala software.
?

At that point, however, you do not have a business. And you're not an entrepreneur.
