It is survivorship bias, and yet it isn't. I think you'd find a lot of these stories would read the same -- while engaging in some other business activity (consulting, sales, etc.) a potentially profitable business opportunity was observed, and gradually it became the primary focus. If there isn't an opportunity observed, or if it doesn't become the primary focus there is no startup and no story.
