This is partly YCs fault because they basically groom startups and usher them into the maw of VCs while glorifying the exploitative VC model
I believe this is a part of culture that VCs are creating. I've been interviewing lately and I've noticed certain personality traits among YC founders that I'll call "Business Sheldon." I saw it a bit 5 years ago when I went to Startup School, but it's pretty pervasive now, so much so that I see it as a red flag. If you've seen the latest season of Silicon Valley, the character that Dan Mintz played touches upon this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzbwLktN60c
