Because most startups aren’t going to grow in the long term to profitable businesses. Either they are going to flame out completely or they are going to get acquired, the product discontinued and the founder is going to walk away with money and post an article on their blog about “our amazing journey”.
As an employee, it’s in your own self interest to do resume driven development. Your “equity” probably won’t be worth anything so you might as well work toward preparing for your next job.
As a founder, you can’t offer the compensation of a larger company. What you can offer is the chance to work on “cool cutting edge technology”.
At this point in my career, I’m more motivated by being able to describe successful outcomes than cool new technology. But I do understand the motivations. I’m also not an old curmudgeon though that considers the cloud is just a bunch of VMs.
