It's not about "safe jobs", it's about fostering diverse commercial environments in which people can readily get good-fit "new jobs" when their old job disappears. This sort of environment has the side-effect of increasing wages for everyone.
When market contractions hit even "safe jobs" aren't necessarily safe.
Competition is important. But there are limits, after which it's better for everyone if the business-creator comes up with a novel idea and pursues that instead of iterating on everyone else. This is very difficult. It might be a bit less difficult if the culture didn't encourage followership in its leaders and funders.
