I don't think the answer is a simple "No, they wouldn't invest those years of their life"
It seems in my experience that most people who invent life changing technology don't do it for the money; they do it because they like to create. Humans have an innate drive to create new things. While I think it makes sense to reward people who contribute to society, those rewards don't have to be unlimited.
