If a company is profitable they have an earned sense of where it makes sense to spend the profits for betterment of the company. The (I could take this as company earnings to my pocket but choose to spend it on employees) signals maturity while (I am spending someone else’s money on luxuries) signals lack of understanding what’s important for the business.

The difference isn’t the actual luxuries, it’s the amount of skin in the game from the founder.
