They took lots of VC money, got crazy valuations and picked up a few enterprise customers as the JamStack trend grew - and now have to try to generate a return.

You missed the point. Many businesses only need revenue (or EBITDA) to exceed expenses and you're profitable. Once you take VC money, you must exceed profitability and provide a return on VC money. Not all businesses must make a return on outside investment because they did not take outside investment.
