Someone might think "I'd be fine with losing a little revenue per user if it means users are happier with our product", but feel pressure to instead tell investors "We're not going to do that because it would mean less revenue per user". Some people think it looks weak/naive/unprofessional to seem "good" in this way. I'm not sure that's what YC is talking about though.
