The ratio of people I've met who've taken out a mortgage to the number who've taken out a house-sized business loan must be well above 10,000:1. It's not clear that you're arguing from any basis in reality to suggest that they're the same in any way.

That's why those 10000 do not create Amazons. It's not that they cannot. It's that they will not.
It's like Bob and Ted have an equal financial position.
Bob: I just borrowed $10,000 and put it into Bitcoin!
Ted: Haha, you fool, that's so risky!
--- 5 years later ---
Bob: My bitcoin is now worth $1,000,000!
Ted: That's sooo unfair!
And remember, Bezo didn't have $300,000 either. He borrowed it.
