There has never been an industry that does that consistently (that wasn't government subsidised at least).

We got lucky with the dotcom bubble.

There's no guarantee of anything, and it's totally possible for the industry to collapse and stay that way.

They got the current administration to ban state level regulation for them. Not to mention various defense contracts. They are government subsidized.
