There is an interesting dichotomy. On one hand, you simply cannot build advanced semiconductors without thousands of people in scale. We wouldn't have cheap semiconductors if it wasn't for big corporations. On the other hand, the moat that they build in the process through various ways (market capture, lock-ins, IP threats, etc) are real obstacles for startups. Startups are the seeds that clear out old forests and rejuvinate the land. They're necessary but so are the forces that are their obstacles. Conversation here is generally sawtoothing between these two opposing forces but may be there is a role here for some minor form of regulation. A type of an economic free zone for startups where they're immune from large corporate pressures. America could benefit from a Shenzhen/Goungzhou type of a economic free zone.
