It's not a level playing field that's true, but too much of this thinking enables us to fall into a very convenient trap when we fail, and general outlook about the real reasons for our circumstances. That it's all nature and nurture and we have no free will and no real control over our destinies. This idea should be met with violent resistance. Free will doesn't only exist, it's the only thing that matters. If I have no control over my life then I have no life. I see this as part of the current public debate about haves and have-nots, growing inequality, etc.. which is an important debate. It's nice that the richest persons in the world have some humility about their success and speak so publicly, but we must not fall into the trap that luck and things outside our control are really what matters. People born with nothing make it huge, rich kids with everything become total failures. This is absolute proof that free will exists and is what matters most.
