The article also misses the value of intangible assets and strategic options. Unit economics might be negative for now but who knows what a company might be doing in the future. Of course there might be wildly overvalued companies but may be negative unit economics can be seen as an investment in operational scale -- not diluting fixed costs but actually getting to scales where the economics change and new strategic options become viable. (Example: Uber moving from hailing to self-driving cars, obviously.)
I worked both in extremely quite places (management consulting) with "fish tank" rooms and in extremely loud places (startups) in open offices. I tried using sound blocking apps (brown noise) to mask the background noise but it's not just the noise, it's people coming and going.

I think I am much more productive in quiet places. Does anyone really prefer to work in loud environments?

This is really interesting!
Too much bullshit
It bothers me as well...
