Well, should they? Would you as a founder want to be able to take money off the table? Would you as an investor invest in business where the founder has or could take money off the table?

I think your assumption remains par. The power and control that comes with sources of money distort other conversations. But, maybe, it's not mandatory in all situations? It seemed a good article, from a good source, to open my eyes to at least other scenarios. Maybe.

Interesting topic, Zane. Thanks for sharing. Though I have tended to approach ventures with the ambition of trying to grow them through revenue as long as I possibly can, I have always assumed that lack of ability to control the revenue stream of a startup is par for the course once VC or other outside investment is accepted.
