If the output generated by his attempts at making a better game is a much faster node runtime, then even if the game is still not usable does that matter? The end result is still an improvement over something that existed before. The game was just a catalyst.

Isn’t every success story really an example of survivorship bias?

No, survivorship bias (in this context) means to wrongly see a minor subgroup as the majority. But the successful subgroup is not always a minority, or falsely labelled.
