You have an issue with VC not SV specifically.
a) Yes in some cases engineers with no business experience get funding. But in most cases there is significant due diligence being done on the capabilities of the team.
b) There is plenty of history that engineers with great product sensibilities can learn to run a business and become successfully by augmenting their weaknesses with members of the SLT who are stronger at them.
c) The whole point is for them to deploy their LPs money rather than just letting sit around waiting for the perfect idea/team/market etc combination to arrive on your lap. That simply doesn't happen.
