Looks US patent system is guilty of universities stupidization is US... So, let's bring some history at least as I learned it. Photography was invented and in UK patented. But it wasn't patented in France so it was developed more - not stagnating (like in UK). And that nicely explains why "early masters" in photography are from France - development, development, development. But in post WW2 US NSA was created (1957?) and all cryptography science was, at least, enforced to be self-censored. Looks like later self-censoreship was extendet for rest of the science - I bet in the name of US strategic adventage... That started killing science in US. On top of that you have culture of nation-wide gread in winner-takes-all-and-noone-helps-him clothes. I would call it Albion 2.0 greed... Patent everything including not-realy inventions ! Greed is strong in US. And that makes US literaly equivalent of ancient Egiptian priests that know how science of sun eclipses work but do not share and exploit it for own gain. And that makes further science development imposible (in US). There is one more thing: economy/management/etc graduates are kind of sociopaths-by-education. Years of brainwashing make them to extract cash from everything for themselves. Not company or enterprise! R&D or long term projects ? No way ! Bonus over all ! And thay are good at that economy/management work but it's like kids playing in someone workshop - them have no clue what's going on and what's possibly can be achieved. Just look and HN links... Anything new and interesting (in science) comes from Europe, Japan, Australia, Brasil ! And from US comes only details for already discloused ideas and fields. That is my impression and I'm sure statistic could [dis]prove it.
