It's my presumption that these services are expensive now but once proven will become commodity. In sufficient time it would be as cheap/free as penicillin or a multivitamin.
If you had a large country like china or the us or some other big baller walk in and say, "make 5,000 MRIs to these specs and we'll buy them" then by the end that manufacturer could quite possibly crank out another 5,000 for comparative pennies and flood the market, but until someone puts a few billion on the line it's not going to happen.
Are you sure about that?

There is also commercial mobile stuff for veterinary use.

But yeah I am depressed, cause I've seen and heard and read about too much shit.
You've probably mostly been in a bubble that has had no reason to expect anything but the best outcomes of everything.
The second season is best avoided though.
