Root cause of that attitude is the 3 month metrics reporting required by Wall St. It is arbit and the largest corps that do research fully understand it can generate these counter productive attitudes generating deadline based superficial progress. Which is why they try to keep their R&D people separate but it is never long lasting cause its all built on top of contradictions. You want to build something long lasting look at how the Vatican survives not at how corporations/nations/empires survive. But getting science orgs to be that open minded is very tricky given all the baggage the Church has accumulated.
