This is simply untrue. The number of great fortunes itself has vastly increased in tech's positive-sum economy. The increase in the number of multi-millionaires, and the growth of that class, has been deeply impacted by tech. And it's not just founders. Lots of execs and senior software engineers now possess fortunes that past ages would have considered great, even in real vs nominal dollars.
Not all industries are winner take all. And many industries remain to be invented by founders.
This fortune == crime is part of a scarcity mindset, and it's a shame that limits people.
