Even people who are “rich” can’t really take risks. They have to sacrifice their health or family or career progress as a salary earner to take a shot at innovation (entrepreneurship I mean). The VC startup world often is just “who is willing to sacrifice other things and take the most risk”, and excludes those seeking to live a balanced and healthy life. I agree having safety nets means more people can contribute to innovation. But it’ll still be hard to survive the brutality of startups. As a society we shouldn’t reward those who make unhealthy choices to “win”. That’s still exclusionary IMO. But I don’t know how you can defend against that.
