I do think that an A/B testing platform can be a great business, and making any business work is for sure an achievement.

I just had the impression that YC tries to back more "ambitious" or "important" businesses, but may be I'm wrong about that.

ambition or "importance" don't always manifest in the early stages of a startup (they probably usually don't). Shopify started as a snowboard selling company and I'm sure that the founders here pitched YC a larger vision that was appreciated.
