I mean, are we going to create suboptimal products and services, ceding economic growth to other nations.

Most nations are not optimal, and cede all kinds of economic growth to other nations. Why is this a problem?

It's not a problem until there are the equivalent of bread lines (relative difficulties in providing basic goods and services) or other countries get the equivalent of the iPhone (superior goods and services that are affordable for other countries' population but not ours). And yes, this is speaking from a patriotic/state-ist view point.
