"What a weird analogy"
Not sure why you find it weird. There are a lot of hard working people out there. And very few of them ever go "from nothing to something" as you put it.

I don’t know where the concept of meaningless physical and mentally hard work — regardless of its effect or purpose — is somehow guaranteed to produce wealth comes from. I don’t know anyone who believes that.

You don't, but here in Eastern Europe most of the working people I know absolutely believe exactly that.
Around here "work smart, not hard" is a mind-blowing revelation for many. And it bears repeating since people forget it regularly.

If that were true, every startup would be successful.
What a weird analogy, as if spending all night pointlessly digging hole in your background correlates with wealth. Though I think if you did have the grit to do that you will find success in many endeavors.
It takes hard work to go from nothing to something. People doing the hard work are not confused about what’s meaningful.
