I don't know about the rest of your comment, but it starts with a false statement.

> the advice of the business schools long ago and outsourced all its core competencies.

Business schools recommend the opposite. Outsource everything OTHER THAN core competencies. Core competencies are your competitive advantage; keep them in house.

I've looked and it seems that our actual core competency (the thing we do better than others) is raise soybeans, beef, and chicken. https://money.cnn.com/2018/03/07/news/economy/top-us-exports... for example.
