I think the point was startups shouldn't have non-essential expenses, full stop... if the churn of the nuclear option works out, you really need to ask how so much waste accumulated in the first place.

It doesn't seem like an inherent problem if you sign up for stuff you actually don't need so long as you have the money to pay for moving fast. When you're short on money you need to be more cautious and course correct.
