If you've attended a few tech/startup events in San Francisco, you'll know that a significant number of "founders" don't have any funding for their ventures and are hoping to raise capital because they don't have any money of their own. Even those who have raised money and can pay themselves a salary earn far, far less than the doctors and attorneys they could have gone to school with.
If the author truly believes that "founders", including the wantrapreneur variety, are being worshipped, I'd suggest she look at where and with whom she spends her time because it's likely more a product of that than anything else.

I think people see what they want to see.
