Agree with all that you said and I have seen it first hand as I tend to be a poor negotiator and overly trust people. My main issue is the selling of the “mission” by investors and founders. Even in the first comment of the article you linked, Mark Suster talks about people obsessing about options. Certainly we should all be doing stuff for more than money, but if founders and investors weren’t concerned at all about the money why not make these companies non-profits. The reality is they use the information asymmetry for their benefit and then try to pretend it doesn’t matter and people should be about the mission. If you want a mission join the military or the peace corp. Your B2B app isn’t a “mission”.
