It's because your average HN reader/commenter/poster skews toward upper class entrepreneurs (and people trying to become them) and has a vested interest (whether one realizes it or not) in the continued survival of the legacy financial system - even as that system continues to fail those outside the developed world (and quite a few of those inside it).
