My friend went in order to network with tech people and now has met some people pretty high up, some of whom are funding his angel round for his startup. Make of that what you will.

That's a terrible use of burning man and against the ethos of it. It makes me sad to know that even worked.
You get what you curate. If the maintainers of Burning Man wanted to, they could ban those sorts of people from coming. But until then, expect that people will continue to do such things as my friend (and to be fair to him, he went half for the music and experience too, but he didn't willfully ignore the networking opportunities either, both can be true).
show me how to blend "radical self expression" with "carefully curated guest list" and make it work.
