Only because of how you phrase it. If you strike out the latter half of the sentence and just have the company

> work on something that a minority of people care about

then that can be a very viable business plan. In fact, pg probably has an essay about that. Maybe the "do things that don't scale" one?

The problem is that Google’s infrastructure makes it damn near impossible to spin off products to people who would be more than happy to run a 10 million dollar company.

If in fact it is viable, then it's a good idea to work on it. Seems like a big "if". Regardless, it's a different argument to the nonsensical one gp was making.
