This is already the only way scientists make a living
Not true. You mean scientists employed by universities. I mean scientists working in R&D of companies.
Companies do hardly any real or worthwhile r&d, they do product design and marketing. Universities and public research institutes are the only place where any actual science is done.
Source?
Companies do a lot of research. Just look around what they produce. None of the product designs are public IP. They develop it internally.
You seem to have no idea how the world works. Stop dreaming your romantic wishes.
Exactly, a thin wrapper around results from public research, almost nothing novel or valuable
