Who says we're not? For context, I'm one of the people quoted in the original article. EDA companies constantly work on advanced technology with a few development partners. You can read that as: large companies willing to put substantial resources into a research project to push the state of the art. Eventually the more successful projects trickle down to the rest of the industry, some others just become custom options/scripts for particular companies advanced methodologies (this, btw, is one of the reasons EDA software tends to be quite complex)
