The majority of businesses are not run by billionaires, in fact most of them are more tightly affiliated than the average large tech company.

It's not nearly as simple as you're making it out, and those of us that work in large capital industries (tech), have a very different relationship than the majority of workers in America.

I'm not saying we don't share problems, or that they don't have their own issues that are worse, just that your view doesn't reflect the total of reality

well I can't prove my notions, so I suppose we're at a stalemate. All I can say is I never felt like much more than a number in any company I worked at that had more than, say, 10 people on staff. So whether they want to tank the company or are pouring 110% of their soul into the product doesn't seem to trickle down here to my level.
The relevant metric would be corporate value/market cap to owner net worth.
