Satoshi still took advantage of the high initial emission rate (half of all bitcoin emitted in its first 4 years) to mine 5% of all bitcoin for himself.
Some other blockchains feature a purely even distribution of coins by fixing the block reward, making sure that later generations also get their fair share (in bitcoin each next 20-yr generation gets 32x less).

If somebody launches a new blockchain today and put it in "Show HN" it is very probable that almost nobody will put their efforts in that project even if it will succeed years later.
