The GSC improvements aren't just about Amazon and trinkets. Other parts of this iceberg may include standard of living increases across the globe, the ability to open markets in a bidirectional way, global competitiveness, and lowering the barrier to entry for new product prototyping, development, and manufacturing (to name a few). That's also what came next. We have a pretty myopic view of the achievements when we just wonder why we can't get our Amazon trinket shipped faster; that was my point to OP. Regarding "why...stop there?", I'm not sure anybody has stopped. There are articles ad infinitum about supply chain resiliency bouncing around for the last year or so. No doubt the world had prioritized lower cost over resiliency. But why design a feature into a system if nobody values it? When people ascribe a critical level of value to a feature, it gets built. Seems like the planetary population of concerned individuals is thinking about it, and the wake-up calls have been coming in, right?
