I think what was missed was that a lot of people feel inequality is inherently bad, independent of the cause. I think both sides are mostly talking past each other on this one. It's possible for the fact that an entrepreneur getting rich by founding a startup to be a good thing because of the wealth they create while the fact that it increases inequality to be bad. I think most people agree that entrepreneurs getting rich is on the whole net good. That doesn't make inequality inherently good though.
