I think you may be wrong on 3, I think more founders want to stay, and investors want a fast exit for big bucks.

Point 3 is about risk not time. Most founders would rather have a 100% chance of their stock being worth 1 billion than a 1% chance of being worth 200 billion and a 99% chance of being worth zero. For VCs, the choice is opposite.
