I think you hit the nail on the head.
DARPA and NSF could very easily attach some IP rights to every project that they fund, but they don't. Maybe they should?
Congress could easily pass a law giving workers an ownership interest in recordings of their work "performance". You can't tape a concert and sell the recording without the musician's permission. Why can you do that with other tasks?
As we speak, there are companies tracking the eye movements of radiologists reviewing charts. I for one think the radiologists should get some ownership stake in the resulting architecture.
