Everything made in US has become extremely expensive. As a product manufacturer you have to pay a lot more than your Asian competitors. You can open an R&D subsidiary in Asia to reduce costs, but in very short time you will see your technology has diffused and now you have even more pressure from competitors. More bugs and design faults. Growth, innovation, effectiveness, all in a shorter time. All with increasing costs. And even more complexity, and more pressure. iCloud leaks, empty root password, reboot by WhatsApp message, Meltdown, Spectre, 737 MAX, etc.
