I'll go with "the world DOES need startups et al". I feel that one fundamental problem for humanity as a whole is the number of steady giant businesses that really don't need to do much. They have a good old process, that they can slowly - and only as necessary - iterate on. This is NOT how progress happens. So yeah, actually the world needs the few people who will notice that this or that giant slice of business is stuck and needs shaking up. THAT is how we move forward in the last few decades.

So, for one example, taxi services were complacent. And Uber and Lyft shook that up. Are Uber and Lyft perfect? No. But that's not the point. The point is that now even taxi services work better.
