Definitely it makes sense to take bets on new tech. But a lot of higher up managers are not running these projects in good faith. At some level they know the projects are futile, and many around them are playing a game acting otherwise

How do you know that? I don't disagree that many projects are futile. But it is usually only apparent in hindsight, and humans are very good at justifying their own jobs and by extension, their team's jobs.
