You very much do care about the economics of VC if you need their money to build your company. No professional investor will give you terms that will lead to them losing money; that's irrational.

People don't sell equity to VCs because they've been snake-charmed by them. They do it because if you need 2MM+ for your company, they're the only realistic option. Ever talk to a bank about a line of credit against receivables? That's a fun conversation.
