Maybe in the past, but do you think they're going to find a lot of companies that don't care about money in the near future?

I think there will always be companies with too much money. It wouldn't be my preferred strategy, but still...

Among other things, don't they say it is easier to raise a lot of money than just a little bit of money from VCs? So if you business plan lists 10 Sun servers instead of 10 cheap Linux servers, you already increased the money at stake by a large margin (I presume).
