That isn’t actually true. A few certainly are, and they make great press fodder. But most don’t have that luxury. Actually it’s a burden: you suffer much more dilution.

The ones HN like to point at usually are. E.g. basically all of YCombinator companies.

Thise that don't have the luxury are likely to have salaries more in line with European counterparts.
They are. Most US "innovative competitive startups" are losing hundreds of millions, and often billions of dollars a year, for decades.
Europe (thankfully) doesn't want to do that. And "grossly underpaid software developers" enjoy a high quality of life on par with the rest of the population (universal healthcare, extended parental leave, vacations etc.)
