The article says:

"Ideas are cheap - execution is hard"

"Announcing, signaling your ideas offered much greater benefit than risk, because your value multiplied by connections, and execution was the moat you could stand behind."

That's the key difference. It used to be much harder for a competitor to catch up to the state of your implementation.
