I can sum up your entire post there in one way.'
"Attributing a bunch of very real factors soley to luck... even though said factos have nothing to do with luck."
I mean "There are tons of inventors."
Yes. There are, there are very few inventors with good enough ideas to make them a bunch of money. "Fortunate enough to get a patent."
I'd call that.... forsight to get a patent.
"Fortunate enough to invent something people want"
I'd call that... having the foresight to invent something people want, and solve a problem that's a problem.
"Fortunate enough to have the right buisness connections"
I'd call that.... making buisness connections.
None of that is luck.
If I invent a machine that makes peoples cold beer immediatly luke warm, i'm not "unlucky because i inevented something nobody wanted".
I was dumb for putting time and effort towards something nobody wants.
It's like making yourself morbidly obese on purpose, and then lamenting your luck that you don't live in an era where that is seen as attractive.
It's not luck, you just made a bad choice.
I mean, you are literally saying "What you invented" is soley due to luck.
As if inventing is just you spinning a magic wheel and maybe god gives you a winner and maybe you invent something dumb.
