That's my worry, too. I'm reminded of the history of Intel, which at its founding decided that it would not have a research org (drop the R from R&D) and just focus on scaling FETs, because the founders learned that trying to do both meant that one would ultimately suffer.

Scaling FETs is not research?

It’s all research - it’s just that when you get a taste of the money, the trend is often to lean heavy towards more of it. Wasteful, frivolous curiosity often falls into the rear view.

There are not a lot of places where you can pursue "wasteful and frivolous curiosity". And even at those places, you would need to have earned the privilege.
