> Doesn't this just amortize out to be roughly the same amount of deduction over the long term?

Yes, but if your business is not yet profitable, having to pay tax on money you don't actually have in the bank (because expenses exceeded revenue during the year) will cut into your runway, perhaps to the point that your company might not exist in five years... or even two or three.

Google, Facebook, Microsoft and many other of those old big companies are profitable though and they dont go anywhere in next 5 years (even if first 2 bleed out users)
