We, people in tech, regularly see and think about alternative business models. We think about what structure works. When it makes sense to have investors. Whether it makes sense to have investors at all. There are many ways to structure a business! Not every structure is a fit for every business concept. Not everything is best suited to a bootstrapping methodology as you describe. Conversely, not everything is suited to unspeakable amounts of VC funding to hyperscale. It's a set of individual decisions for individual needs in individual circumstances. No options on the menu are universally good or universally bad. Each is a tool suited to a purpose. Would you call a wrench "bad" because it's not good for creating holes for screws?
