Actually, it is hard. Why are the employees the only ones that have to take it on the chin?

The founders do too. The venture capitalists, on the other hand, are deploying money that isn't theirs. It feels like you can argue that to the extent they do anything to cushion the outcome for startup team members, they have to be doing it at the (ultimate) expense of pension fund stakeholders.

I don't know how strictly true that is in most cases, but it's a factor worth considering.
