This is an unfair characterization.

Cohorts are not 'raising massive rounds' on selling to a couple of poor YC startups that 'don't want they product but pay for it anyhow' <- the implication there is very wrong.

They're selling to people who are using their product, but probably have bit of an open mind about things, and are willing to overlook hiccups. A bit like how buyers often have a 'national preference' in some cases.

Every startup ecosystem should do this, it's probably one of the top things any system could do to try to get things going.

That's the whole point though, no? Enterprises have a totally different mindset and are not willing to overlook hiccups. So they haven't found PMF with their long-term target audience until they have learned how to sell to and build for those clients
