What concerns me about this is that as these stories multiply and circulate people will just completely stop buying software/SAAS from startups, because 90% or more will be this same thing. It will completely kill the market.

Oracle have routinely had multimillion pound contract failures and people keep buying from them. Big vendors are too big to fail.

I mean, the stories about how stuff was getting built in the late 90s/early 2000s aren’t much worse.

Or you end up with a certification process, which will of course introduce it's own problems but startups doing things the right way and not just "moveing fast and breaking things" can thrive.
