I have always believed that the purpose of employment (of working for someone else) is to gain enough savings and skills to eventually launch your own business. If you don't execute this plan, you risk feeling frustrated and trapped. An exception is if you have a parasitic value-robbing position somewhere which not everyone does.

Could be said for both, business owner and employee. In most businesses, the owner usually pays a small fraction of value generated by any employee. In other places, management builds multiple layers of hierarchy where they simply rob value by being a middleman with adding zero or negative value overall.
Also, some of us prefer the predictable life of doing our best and going home or moving on to somewhere else where that is possible. Many do not have rich daddies showering money one day because they want a hobby and start a business. Here in EU, starting a business at certain nations means mountain of paperwork and infinite laws one can break and go bankrupt without hiring 50 accountants, tax advising and lawyer services.
Most people I know just like being good at their job, helping people, getting paid a reasonable wage, etc. The ones driven to run their own thing are much more dissatisfied as a general rule than a normal person.
But if you didn't - why would such a godlike super smart employer keep so many leeches on staff? An interesting contradiction in a certain conception of corporations.
