We’re sounding like leftists. Let the market rule. Then fight the left when they limit your choice like they’re doing with EV’s.
Same with dogs. Some communities won’t let you use your own money for a purebred-gotta go to the shelter and pick out a pit bull mix.
Letting the market rule would also include not making the taxpayer subsidize this R&D.
If it’s a good idea, the private sector will take the risk and fund the R&D itself and the consumer will decide if he wants the resulting products.
None of that is happening.
