Before the mega monopolies took over, corps used to partner with universities to conduct this kind of research. Now we have bloated salaries, rich corporations, and expensive research while having under experienced graduates. These costs will get forwarded to the consumer. The future won’t have a lot of things that we have come to expect.

I don't think it's accurate to attribute some kind of altruism to these research universities. Have a look at some of those pay packages or the literal hedge funds that they operate. And they're mostly exempt from taxation.
