I think that’s right, and I think there’s a third aspect at play, which is that culturally the US doesn’t value jobs in manufacturing, machining, engineering, etc. as highly as it once did (after WW2, say) or as highly as it values finance and tech jobs today. I’m not sure how easily that could change.
