What's your point? I live in a world full of people who are native to Japan. I'm not in some sort of expat bubble. I can go weeks without seeing any foreigners here. It's not difficult for me to know the perspective of people who grew up here.
Well, for some people being right is the only thing that matters. People already mentionned Linus Torvalds, I somehow like reading his rants about devs pushing things after freeze and stuff.

Sorry, to clarify: many young people seem to see the whole SV/SF thing to be cool and seem to almost idolize the prospect of working in the promised land. By association startups as a whole (regardless of location) are cool to them. As a result startup founders in Japan get additional social support from their peers for their endeavors (which as you know is a huge psychological benefit in Japanese society).
