I wasn't being pedantic for its own sake, but because the Corp has the capability yet refuse to use it for people's benefit as they value shareholder profit more. They absolutely could, but won't. To me, this is worse than not having the ability (won't).

We get it Corp, you would if you could. Good effort. Wait, you actually can but won't?

That's not worse to you?

Not always. There is some research that they could not do without going broke because up-front costs are too high, and there's no tangible return on investment. In these cases, it makes sense to fund publicly because there is still value to society at large. Accelerators, for example. It doesn't always have to be some conspiracy.
