It's a matter between either being lucky or having a compelling enough story/background that people gravitate toward you.
I've heard a lot from the other side as well, technical people asking how to find the perfect business partner at a time when everyone has their own idea.
Ask yourself what qualities would a founder have to have that would make you give up your idea and join theirs. Then strive toward having those qualities.
In my perspective, if I see anyone hustling either by getting together a makeshift MVP or pre-selling to customers, then I know they have the drive to succeed.
I agree with your points. Hustle is key. That's where I am at at this point. Putting together a prototype and working towards a MVP. The struggle is not only finding someone who has the skill set, and the drive, but also someone you want to build something with, and match personality wise. It's like a marriage.
If your hustle muscle is developed enough you could power through without even needing a technical cofounder. Sam Ovens is one great example (of many).
