Wouldn't that make many scientists (both good and bad) move to other countries where funding is easier to get?

FWIW, and I didn't clarify this enough in my post -- I meant this as an example solution of something that would change the incentives rather than the culture, not necessarily as my own full-throated endorsement; I do personally think that steps in this direction would be for the best, but it's not as though there wouldn't be downsides that would need to be managed/mitigated.
