If it's not wrong at 30, why would it be wrong at 50? Not every programmer sees their individual contributions as a stepping stone to becoming a manager, so why would it be any different with starting a company? I see no reason to begrudge someone for doing what they love, no matter their age.

But in my opinion it should be a good reason for someone in his 40s to not protect his future. First of all, working on your own is a matter of independence, as it just doesn't guaranteed that he wouldn't be fired someday and can find a new decent job at 50+.
