VC also tends to be looking for big, long tail wins. If you blow up 9 companies, but the 10th is a huge success - you're gold. If 10 of your companies are middling successful? You're not going to have the returns your investors were looking for, and you're toast.
Could be that it's not that they don't care, just that they don't take that level of involvement with growth companies.
VCs tend to take a <5 y perspective, where banks and other investors can play more long-term games
