Exactly. I think one could argue that "gains" have yielded more successful startups. e.g. Amazon/DoorDash - driving to the store was "fine", but ship to home = way more convenient Uber - Waving down taxi is "fine" experience, but on demand transportation = way more convenient Slack - communicating through email is "fine", but async messaging = more real time and productive

It's typically easier to make money from concentrations of money (rich individuals and companies), and those tend have more gain opportunities than problems (because they've already monied-away their problems).
