Its not that so much as valley elitism - the idea that if you aren't there, then you're not serious and are unlikely to succeed.
But I agree with you. Also, don't investors back companies they understand? Doesn't this mean a variety of seed-stage programs will back different startups? Isn't this a good thing?
Considering the philosophy behind YCombinator, I really don't get all the hating on the clones that happens here every time one comes up.
