Isn't this him just bragging, which gets extrapolated to some platitude about startups? By the same token of startups supposedly being able to fix things faster, which is debatable, it is more likely that they have more problems by moving faster without that many users. Things change a bit when you have millions, hundreds of millions, and even billions of users.

Nope. Not debatable. Not supposedly. Effective startups move faster … or they are not effective startups and they die. The fact that not all startups die literally shows that not all are creating more problems than they are solving.
Large orgs can be pretty nimble too if they are properly set up and have the right people btw
