This idea that success is all about, mostly about, or largely about luck is intellectually lazy, is extremely misleading, and stokes envy. None of that benefits society.

To benefit from luck, you have to put yourself in position to get lucky, which does not happen by accident. There is all the difference in the world between good timing and dumb luck. Yes, we can all think of anecdotes where someone did buffoonishly stumble into good fortune, but insisting that this is a fair representative of all cases is the fallacy of composition.
