I agree, but with "funding model" rather than "ecosystem". With VC funding the cost of failure is low, and arguably failing to scale will make you look worse than simply running out of money. In a bootstrapped business, the same pressure doesn't apply. Also, I imagine it is easier for a small team spending their own money to avoid slipping into resume-driven development.

Also, we used the best DX practices so all team members, while tired, do feel happy about projects progress".
