Your last point is surely salient. But your first point is not.
If I have a choice between a ceo who’s run 5 companies and 4 of them well vs one that’s run 5 companies and 1 of them well, I don’t really want the one who’s “learned a lot.”

In that case one that's failed building a new company/product is no worse than someone that has been the CEO of an established company for a few years and it hasn't gone bust. EDIT: I didn't mean to say that a failed CEO was better than a successful one - just that being a failed CEO won't bar you from being employed again, for good reason.
