You are right to certain degree and I also am not a fan of VCs trying to get in on the bandwagon somehow, but he does have a point.
Most "normal people" don't buy as much as VCs do, so they don't have as much stake. VCs are in it purely to make money so they end up investing much more than ordinary joe, which is why they will be there to help you out when things are not going well, exactly because they need their return on investment.
Another thing is, VCs have reputation to manage, so they just can't move on easily without feeling even a little bit of guilt. On the other hand, users don't care about you and they don't (and shouldn't) feel a bit of guilt moving on from you.
Overall, as long as they have large stake in your tokens VCs will help you, not because they are saints, but because they can't lose money and reputation
