I think a lot of HN comments, though not all, offered constructive criticism to these very early company's. Most of them weren't showing the product they have now so it's not a fair comparison.
Also there are startups where the product isn't aimed at a developer and it's quite understandable they might not see the value.
I'm not a millennial and still can't see the value in Airbnb, I value the services that a hotel provides and would never use their service. That blindsided me to the fact that younger people would think differently.

Comments on hacker news focus on improving humanity, not making money.
No one cares what will make your evil faceless company money, and sure we don't help those kind of goals.
Those product companies have succeeded at making money. Seeing that Dropbox has to implement predatory subscription and other dark patterns, the company has already failed HN.
