Blitz-scaling is still the primary mindset at a lot of startups (at least where I've worked or the companies I've come into contact with). They may use some other term but the "grab market share as fast as possible and worry about profitability later" is the general strategy. I think this leads to a lot of companies making bad calls like over hiring or building awkward products. I'm not saying blitz-scaling can't be a strategy, I just think it's treated as the only strategy that matters and people end up in hammer/nail situations.
