What sort of "root cause" analysis goes for the human nature of a founders? Yikes, are we that overly-focused on the individual?
Let my say the obvious, all those non-VC companies are publicly held. So let me get to the heart of the matter, if you have investors, they will demand returns on their investment. And if you don't have investors, you will have to compete externally (e.g. users) and internally (e.g. salaries) with those that do.

I.e. if you want to survive, the market will keep you in lockstep with the worst of your competitors on the market. So ultimately it still boils down to "problems of unconstrained markets".
