Inequality is also something that VCs work on directly, just in another form. VCs believe that wealth is created by makers, and that the wealth should be taxed and distributed as a form of UBI. UBI still helps the bottom line of VCs the most because it turns the whole government into seed investors. It helps social mobility, but doesn't help those who can't make but are still essential (e.g. nurses).
I think the core question here is "Why don't private organizations with lots of money and power change the world?" And the answer is that, like all startup things, it's not something that you can throw money at the problem. It has to be solved by people dedicating months of focus to a specific problem.
