This seems to me that you're saying that they shouldn't be responsible for their failure. This leads to the discussion of whether or not people who start or back failed/failing businesses have made a net contribution to society or are simply leaching off the contributions/momentum of others. Obviously, there is a balance to these things. You're both contributing and leeching with a failed business. Monopolies are the same as well. Each one can be abused or used to create a contribution or to coopt value. What really matters is when you're all said in done, is everyone, including the employees, better off?
