Imagine half of your vendors/customers are insolvent. Is this good?

Of course, many startups' customers are not other startups.

In YC it often is. You are almost expected to prop up other YCs companies with your funds. If everyone buys each others services everyone can show their super duper growth and nobody lost anything (except VCs who invest later).

Exactly. It will be interesting to see who and what gets shutdown in the next 30 days if the issue isn't rectified.

Do all start-ups only sell stuff to other start-ups? If yes, that's their problem right there.
