Remember Calico and Altos Labs which were moonshot cure longevity companies? After years they emerge out of stealth and all they got is some cancer drugs. The gravitational pull of the billions of dollars to treat cancer patients and extend their lives a few more months eats up all the attention of the biotech world because there is such an astronomical amount of money in it and you'll just have to come up with a new way to kill cells which is relatively easy.
So usually when people talk about new cancer drugs it meant that great scientists will make billions wasting their lives barely improving the quality of life for some terminally ill cancer patients and it's just kind of sad, honestly.

Life, even just extending life of millions of people a bit, survival rates just a bit, is worth a lot.
