I have a lot of thoughts on this because I did online entrepreneurship from ~1997 - 2011 (and am planning to get back into it, because, among other things, it was kinda fun when it wasn't an anxiety-packed stressfest), but I'll just respond to this bit for now (emphasis mine):
And the whole time they were getting further and further from the thing that actually creates economic value, which is: find a real problem, solve it for real people, care enough to stick around and keep improving. The boring thing. The thing that takes years. The thing that is, to be absolutely clear about this, not passive.
That, for me, was the fun part.
...and also, there were times when it did feel a little like "money showing up overnight", when orders came in -- but I had a policy of not debiting until actually shipping the product (which apparently confused a lot of people), and then stuff had to actually be shipped (that was the whole point, the main value I was providing) -- so each new "you've got money!" meant a little work before actually getting the money.
