I think the points raised in the five questions would mostly come up in underfunded projects. Sure, you can have everything you're willing to pay for. Especially things like

Most project budgets for SMEs and startups are guestimated by a business development team, therefore underfunded.

You'd be VERY lucky as a firm to be communicating with a technical, who has an actual idea about scope and the time it takes to iterate a "small feature", if they're coming to you for a project.
