So in short, innovation beyond the lab stage requires major funding and few people want to take on the risk? Sounds perfectly logical. It's human nature to value the same amount of loss far more severely than the same amount of gain. I suppose that's why most new tech is either deployed with government funding because they don't care about burning boatloads of other people's money for some small strategic gain, or by rich lunatics with a god complex that believe they can't possibly lose despite the risks involved.
