Not that interesting, just the result of a cherry picked list.

Most are men. Not indicative of men, just that most VC-backed startup founders are men.

by outright tech fraud I mean that the tech itself is just not there

Magic Leap should also perhaps be in the list, but that seems more a case of gross exaggeration than complete wishful thinking

Yeah, Magic Leap actually built a VR headset with two separate focal planes, which no one else has managed to ship. It might be wishful thinking but you can't do that without some serious tech chops.
Did Magic Leap manage to ship it?
By that definition this company doesn't belong your list in the first place.

edit to clarify: I mean Quintillion doesn't belong on the list.
