Thing about offhand comments from random guys like Lutke is a) they're born of the cultural pool in which he's swimming, which is made up of many other very influential rich guys, and b) they have the power and influence to actually make their ideas happen.
One only need look at Peter Thiel's private rich club for assholes and the ideas they're circulating or the absurdities espoused by the effective altruists that birthed guys like Sam Bankman Fried to realize that it's worth paying attention to wild, off the cuff comments by folks like Lutke. His ideas might be more prevalent than you realize.
