The point is that there are lots of failed oss projects. Further, a startup has a lot more requirements than an oss hobby project. For your hobby you can send an email to a listserv and say “burned out, taking a three month break” or you can focus exclusively on the code.

But a startup needs to make money or it can’t pay people. You don’t just need code. You need a product and you need to sell it.

There's a lot of failed start ups in general. Doesn't seem like its a feature unique to remote-only projects.

Sure. My point is that "linux exists" is not evidence that remote startups will be statistically as likely to succeed as in person startups.

Linux isn't the end of the list. You can also include everything from Gitlab, HashiCorp, and Elastic and they make quite a bit of software.
