I'm having trouble understanding your logical association between having no interest in doing something and being willing to do literally anything else.
This is how the world works now. The most important thing is marketing/buzz/hype/name-dropping. Once you've got that, then you can begin thinking about what the focus of your business will be and what products or services (if any) your company provides.

Ever since the idea of a modular phone was first introduced "Phonebloks, or whatever it was" I have known for a fact that it was a fundamentally flawed concept and would never see the light of day, despite the enormous hype and support it received.
Is this proof that I am more intelligent than everyone who believed in this idea? I think so?
