They want all the perks of being the owner of a company but without any of the investment or actual risk that went into creating the business. And privately owned companies aren't offering stakes in the pie unless you are being brought on early on one of those startups that got past a few seed rounds.
And any of you venture capitalists in America want access to the capitalist apparatus that already exists to give you preferred access to the economy like a road allows you to drive but you don't want to admit the existence of this capitalist apparatus cause it would make you look less like someone taking a serious risk and more like someone fulfilling beaurocratic hoops.
