I agree with the assumption, but I believe that the difference is that in the last 10 years you could have some scrappy machines or free-tier machines in any public cloud provider and have an MVP ready to show it only using software.
For Military Tech/Deep Tech there's no way to do that since the intensity of capital its so high that even if someone trust you to deliver something and write a 500K check the burn rate will kill your company in 6 months; plus all procurement process for it if you going to sell it to any western government.
For instance: I was working in a product to monitor military excercise/disguised build-ups via mixture of aerial images and probing and talking with one innovation branch of a european miitary they told that even if I came up with a finished product I need to pass to several procurement approvals and it could take at least 4 years; and in the meantime I could not even offer that to other places.
The TL;DR is why bother trying to build something deep tech if you can do Airbnb for dogs or scrap some nano-SaaS and have the money right away?
