I agree with you, but as a matter of perspective YC is about investing in businesses and 90% of business does not involve technical challenges, but rather selling, marketing, evangelizing, and managing people.
What would you think is a better proposition for investment?
1. Someone who can do all that, partnered (or to later hire) someone who does deep technical dives.
2. Someone who must necessarily hire sales, management, and PR in order to get to step #2 of any business plan: make money.
Even so their bar is low. They're not looking for generalist experts, merely people who are at least willing to participate in all parts of the trade---including making video proposals, and giving press conferences.
