As startups become more common, we will be getting closer to this ideal. There's a company that basically allows you to outsource your COO function. I forget their name, but apparently Uber has used them and many other startups do as well. Startup entrepreneurs are not compensated because of technical genius, they're compensated because they accomplished the very difficult task of combining some domain expertise (often software engineering in Silicon Valley style startups) with business acumen, including executing all the boring stuff you outlined (and executing often can mean just coordinating vendor services).
