They forgot Step 0: Have a successful business.

None of the other steps will do you any good if you don't have a successful business.

There are many metrics that would indicate a "successful business" (users, revenue, growth rate, patents, etc)

That's critical, of course! The advice here assumes you have a solid business, existing relationships with or warm connections to investors, etc. and that's why YC helps with those parts.
