I think you're bringing a lot of false assumptions into your argument.
It's definitely not in my interest for the founders I've invested in to have bad work-life balances. It's not in my interest because I like them and care about them as humans.
Even if you were to assume that I was motivated exclusively by profit (which I'm not), then it would still be in my best interest to help founders find good balances. In that world, I wouldn't want them burning out, which is what happens when there's no balance.
I've seen founders and friends do everything on this list and call it/justify it as work. That's why I wrote the piece.
