    I… agree but isn’t then contradicting your previous point that innovation will come from large companies if they only try to secure monopolies rather than genuinely innovate?

    Nope.

    I don’t understand from that perspective who is left to innovate if it’s neither research

    Who said there’s no more research?

    not the large companies… and startups don’t get the funding either.

    Both are, on average, just doing boring work minorly translating research in the hope to become more monopolistic, just at different levels of the good chain. The former eats the latter.
