I think you make a good point, and broadly agree with you. I think the problem with Elizabeth Holmes (vs. the traditional tech founder) is that she's in biotech, where the stakes are much higher and the industry is much more controlled. It'd be the same if she was in the aviation space. If she ran a SaaS platform, this wouldn't really be a story - it'd just be a crappy place to work, and a service that's not ever properly implemented, and there might be some level of fraud at a financial level, but nothing as bad as what she did. A business CRM breaking is bad, but not as bad as giving inaccurate medical results to someone leading to a misdiagnosis or worse.
