Is it surprising in any way that a bunch of people not from the valley say that being in the valley isn't important?

No more surprising than the fact that so many people in the valley say being in the valley is important.

I notice that in the bay area, or at least SF, "startup" is assumed to mean a web site or web app of some sort. So when I hear claims that the bay area is the best place for a startup, I don't necessarily disagree, but I parse "startup" as "web app startup".

The rebuttal writes itself, doesn't it.
