Market pressure will always drive outcomes, so you have to incentivize for the outcome you desire. It's far from clear how to bias such speculative (no pun intended) future costs against immediate returns even if you could identify a truly good CEO.

Not necessary! Many CPU architectures and implementations were created by academic institutions, so nationalisation of this industry should be considered a possibility.
