NO, I'm saying that even individuals are conservative in that they will tend to stay with an existing job, locale or speciality even when an alternative could potentially offer better returns. I don't check the job listings every day.

Risk vs reward. Often the risk is too great, especially for a company that is making a lot of money. Why risk R&D when there's no competitor. Companies are optimised to make money, not progress.
