I'm reminded a bit of the first couple of decades of Amazon, when they were continually jeered at for being in the red, then a small profit.
This was all during the dotcom boom. Somebody was going to win, and it was probably the one who spent the most money to be the favorite. Tons of money was set on fire, and Jeff Bezos is pushing being a trillionaire.
In a sane world we'd back off and trust that the tech will get invented even if take two months instead of two days. But they believe that there is one winner and everyone else gets nothing.
