Were they a good thing for startups? I would think that those barriers to entry are a good thing only for well capitalized existing businesses.

Barriers to entry are good for those who can overcome them. That could mean either big companies or startups depending on what type of barrier it is.

It's also noteworthy that startups who can overcome these barriers have not only the advantage over other startups, but also the incumbents who are clunkier and less agile. sweetspot
