in my personal opinion most if not all modern startups are seeking to create a system in which rent seeking behaviour is the end goal. The stereotypical SV playbook is to enter a market, don't give a crap about the local regulation or laws, try to get big by using your cheap money to outstrip to competition and do rent-seeking when you are the largest. Also, a lot of startups are solving non fundemental problems. We should be spending all that engineering effort fixing things like climate change, food security for the global south and a way to deal with the aging population in the western world instead of thinking about algorithms to get more clicks on ads.
