While incentives are pretty fucked (Instacrack being worth more than SpaceX, etc), allocation of labour is not a problem.

We simply have a lot more best and brightest in everything. There's so much talent it's unreal. There's not enough money to hire everyone, or technology to equip them in engineering.

It's kind of like art (pictures, movies, music, anything) - there's so much of it, so high quality these days that there really isn't anything that will stand out on its own. Same for celebrities, for that matter. Actors/singers/presidents? Meh, go to Instagram and OnlyFans and take your pick.

The only reason people 100 years from now will show something as an example of early 00's is marketing and survival.
