Risk. It's called "doing business". Anyone who has built anything great took risks because they had a vision and believed in it. They weren't "rent seeking" and looking for guaranteed returns.

the upside has to justify the risk or it isn't a good investment.

You're missing half the equation.

It's Risk vs Reward. Anyone who built something great took huge risks, for a huge return.

There is no return here. At best, you've sunk a ton of capital into a low-profit business that is propped up only by government subsidy.
