The parent was making no point but was making an unreasonable argument in line of "No one can criticize, but if you believe that then why don't you make a profit?".
Similar to people who say "if crypto is a scam, why don't you short it?"
There are various reasons why people choose to or not choose to become an entrepreneur or why people choose to or not to short something. It doesn't mean just because a person doesn't want to be an entrepreneur, then capitalism is perfect.
The argument is a strawman where-in the original discussion was about billionaire entrepreneurs and how much is a fair reward to them.
We understand the entrepreneur deserve to be rewarded but the original question is up to what extent. Like how in some EU countries, CEO pay is capped.
