Realising the problems of advanced planning means you need to spend more time, not less, on working out what you are trying to do.

Then why does every modern startup do agile development instead of spending more time on planning?

We do agile development where I work. That doesn't mean we don't plan. On the contrary. Agile development doesn't mean throwing a bunch of developers in a room and telling them "do whatever comes to mind" without any thought to what might come out of the process. It means constantly updating your plans, in an adaptive and iterative way.
