lots of moving parts on this discussion but I'll boil it down to:

the ratio of the average individual's wealth to 'illionaire's wealth feels "wrongly asymmetric" for a lot of people (CEOs making ~300x that of average worker)

the question is basically about how that startup scaling at 94% translates to scaling up the individual's life (who faces alleged "stagnant wages")

or in other words, how can entrepreneurs create an approach for society that facilitates individuals scaling up their wealth?

There is for example a perception that a person working all waking hours on a low amount of pay - like minimum wage, and without investments - could never become a 'illionaire through their "honest hard work"; ergo becoming a 'illionaire requires something beyond this "honest hard work" (implying illegal and or unethical means)
