The first two are more likely to get VC backing. Rug pull is a false assumption.

100% guaranteed when VCs are involved that something nasty will happen to the project.

I presume you don't use any VC-backed projects like Google, Apple, Amazon, Facebook, etc.

Those are the absolutely worst examples you could provide. Every single one of those companies has been in the headlines for how demonstrably worse they have gotten over the years, even being pulled before congress in some cases.

You have proven your adversary's point exactly.
