I do not see those as a dichotomy: care to elaborate where's this essay significantly about making what people want instead of guessing what's going to exponentially grow in value long term? He even talks about owning being more important than selling time (which you need to create, right?), so I think you are misreading or misrepresenting the essay by making this personal (he might be all the things you claim, but it totally does not flow from this piece).
