A lot of people consider greater fool assets to be financially unsound, no matter what their historical performance might be.
Stocks typically provide real value in up to 3 different ways. First is paying dividends. Second is voting power. Third is liquidation preference.
Many new tech stocks provide none of those. All they provide is a hope that some fool in the future will pay more for them than you did.
As long as we're in a bubble, those greater fool stocks will keep going up. Sooner or later, the bubble will end. Some people consider it financially unwise to depend on the continued existence of a bubble for their financial positions.
