I can see how this might work.

Geeky founders think they are so smart that others should work way they are working.

They forget that other geeky developers think the same way and don't care about using someone else tools/workflows because "they" themselves are smarter.

For founding people with money - they see hype of development and they don't know most of geeks will think that tool is crap. They might "there are 100k developers we can reach if each pay $10 we have lots of money" - they don't know geeks don't want to pay for anything because they can build their own tools and their own Dropbox.

I can totally see how there are people with blind spots why these products won't work.
