Dude, YC is not obligated to do anything for you, or anybody. They're not a college, and even those aren't transparent with selection criteria. Christ, checklists out of 10?

Life is a crapshoot.

People need to also stop thinking that incubator == success, or that not incubator == not success.

Except that, why would people need to stop thinking that?

Because, its very obvious that, at the very least, becoming part of y combinator sets you up for major success. Just like being part of an Ivy League.

Sure, you can have success without it, but damn, why wouldn't you want it?
