I don't think this person understands what/why pivot happens. I also want entrepreneurs to build smaller, self funded businesses but bagging on the VC isn't the way to demonstrate that. Both paths (and others) can exist at the same time. The customer, the entrepreneur and (if you want them) investors need to be aligned. Some want huge, some want less huge. Neither path guarantee success. Starting a business is more like a guaranteed failure (95% or something)
