I aim to discuss this thoughtfully while avoiding personal attacks. There's an interesting dynamic at play in how tech entrepreneurs and innovators are often perceived. The intense drive, ambition, and single-minded focus that often characterizes successful founders can sometimes come across as off-putting or make them seem less relatable. The "move fast and break things" culture can clash with more traditional social values around humility and easy-going sociability that might make someone an appealing pub companion.
That said, I think it's worth examining why we value approachability in this way and whether it's always a relevant metric for evaluating business or tech leaders. While being personable is certainly valuable, it may not always correlate with innovation capability or leadership effectiveness.
Would you mind sharing what specific qualities you find lacking in these innovators that makes them seem less approachable?

Presumably their lack of concern for humanity,
their spineless brown-nosing of fascists, and the way they take credit for other people's hard work and are happy to lie about their products. They just want the investment money and have no real vision or care about either the product or users.
None of them show any real interest in their supposed area of interest, especially the Spotify guy with his terrible takes on music.
At least Bill Gates seems to genuinely like computers. This new breed aren't thinking beyond the money.
