I have to admin I had fun to read your digression. So while in principle I agree with your proposal, they shouldn't be enemies and they should help each other (and some of them do!) unfortunately very often it is the opposite. I might disagree about the reasons Japanese etc. cars got more popular though. Also, I don't think you can extend your example easily - Nvidia doesn't have record profits because they treat their employees well but because of their near-monopoly on GPUs used for "AI"-related tasks (it will take decades for AMD and Intel to get there). It would be nice if your theory was true, though.
