It’s true that often entrepreneurs aren’t cause-neutral. They’re may be working in an area because it interests them, or they care about it.
But often they’re more constrained by what they can do. Typically that’s where they start from, and then they look for things that they can fix in that area.
The second problem is, I think, more fundamental. We can try and convince people to be more cause-neutral (although the fewer population-level changes we need to make, the better!), but it’s just hard, per-individual work to move expertise and knowledge.
