The problem is that innovation is a consequence of productivity, if you stop making the thing, you cede the stimulus required to do the innovation around the thing. The example I always give young computer scientists is, what do you think motivated Google to do the research behind "Attention Is All You Need"? If you talk to that team, they wanted the 3% improvement in Google Translate. You cannot think of something more prosaic leading to something more profound.

"Regardless of what industry you care about, automotive and aerospace, manufacturing and defense, climate, energy, semiconductors, electronics, the most important industries in the world are all a direct result from materials R&D. So to us, it felt like the perfect blend where you have this technology that is completely changing the paradigm in discovery, and you have this field that's 100-something years old and hasn't had it happen yet. That's a place that we should attack."
