I'd bet that YC would love to fund fewer dev tools, but there's a bias towards who applies to YC in the first place. It's not that YC isn't well known outside of tech circles, but they are especially well known in tech circles, and that affects who applies.

They can choose what they fund right? There might be some element of "Kelly criterion" to it though, so if all you have is tech tool ideas, it is still worth investing an a proportion of them.
