I think what you're describing is the machinations of a capitalist society gone off the rails. Founders are focused, and what you're saying is they're focused _to a fault_. I don't think there's any fault there. Not every company has to continue growing indefinitely. That's insanity. The problem is the shareholders or boards who demand indefinite growth, and do so at the cost of their products, the most devout customers and their culture. In other words, you can't use a broken system to criticize leadership.
