Implying that those startups failed due to engineer negligence and not due to strategic business blunders.

My main point was completely different:

You can't claim engineers are exploited because some cherry picked tech companies make huge profits. You have to look at the tech sector as a whole, including the parts that lost untold billions while the famous ones raked them in.

I didn't mean to imply that at all.

Though of course that is sometimes a factor.
