"Since YC sets up founders and angels in the best atmosphere possible, the founders can be completely product-focused." YC companies are completely product focused for 2.5 months. That's it. Then you dive into fundraising, which is close to a full time job for 1 of the founders... And as much as YC helps, that still takes a long time. As an illustration, of the 20+ YC companies that demo'd late March (6 weeks ago), only 2 are funded that I'm aware of, and a few more have term sheets (which is really the start of the negotiation... "deals fall through"). YC accelerates the funding process a bit, but a lot less that you might think.
