If the public doesn't believe it can get rich investing in new stocks, then they won't buy new stocks.

What really drives IPOs is the demand. If Uber turns into an epic fail it will be that much harder for the next big IPO. It will draw in regulators, etc.

Ultimately one hand has to wash the other.
