I think, normatively, we should be almost unreasonably supportive of people building things.

It would be a happier, healthier world if people looked at entrepreneurs and extended them the same charitable "Hmm, I default to thinking you're probably good at your job and your offering is valuable" we extend to teachers, journalists, or barbers for that matter.

Replying to @patio11
do you feel people are harsher to startup entrepreneurs than other professions? I see this sentiment expressed frequently by people at SV companies. I see a lot of criticism of journalists, academics, teachers, doctors, police officers, and more pretty frequently on Twitter.

This is my subjective impression, yes, partially because quite a bit of the criticism comes from either "within the house" or places which have a great deal of social power.
