In most cases that may be true, but as someone who has worked for two startups, I know how much effort goes into building a team of skilled people and organizing them to do more than build a great product. You can have the best idea and the best product in the world, but if you don't have a well run team and you don't know how to market your product, support your customers, etc you will not succeed.

I agree that other areas are important, as I said. However, engineers are primarily paid to make good products (or test good products, or oversee the work on good products, Marketing a good product, etc.. etc... It all comes down to good products).
