Some people will always take things too far.
This is part of a larger pattern I observe where people become fixated on solutions and forget (or never even knew) about the problem.
If you're working on something it's worth asking yourself every day: what is the problem I'm working on? Does this problem actually exist? Am I sure I'm working on a problem, or am I working on a solution?

This is just the natural behavior of trying to ride the wave of any tech hype cycle. There are incentives (both monetary and status) for doing so. FOMO also plays a large part here. They know very well what they're doing and the tradeoffs of what they're doing. It's not a mistake, bias or hyperfixation.

The investor capital goes towards "solutionizing", so that's what people chase. Nobody in their right mind thinks food delivery or e-scooter rental is a billion dollar idea for example, but money flows into it anyway.
