I think you misunderstand how VCs work. If you come to them with a strong idea and evidence that you have built up that it will work and a plan for how to move forward and the right people and you try to get them to take equity they have really no incentive to to say no to you and try to build the thing themselves without you, when it would be so much easier just to help you build it.

Your logic is true for an 8-figure VC fund. Its more nuanced for a technically-proficient group looking at 5-6-digit (pre)seed rounds.
