There is also a thread of idealism in many research circles that the researchers would like to continue working on a liveable wage. Having some public work helps that.

It's pretty obscene that you equate any desire for recognition of your work with being a blowhard.

Livable wage? Researchers at Silicon Valley powerhouse companies aren't exactly toiling away for peanuts, are they? Also, the implication of my statement is that blowhards tend to prioritize their desire for recognition, not that the desire for recognition makes you a blowhard. Hardly an "obscene" assertion.
