> Get a loan from a bank and start a small business

That's the point: Bezos didn't get a loan from a bank, he just raised money from other rich people. He never had even the risk of repaying a bank loan, for Christ's sake! Most people who want to start small business are a much more precarious situation, and that's why they don't start businesses as easily as you want.

His risk was the opportunity cost of not working a safe, guaranteed high paying job which he already held.
