Why do companies have games with crap performance if the underlying hardware is so good? Why did the avro arrow get scrapped? Why are there countries with energy prices much higher than what nuclear offers?

There's a world of difference between the technical capabilities of a technology, and people actually executing it.

Yeah but there are zero barriers to market. France can't sell its nuclear energy to Australia, but anyone anywhere can release software. If anyone is exploiting this, it should be visible to everyone.

Companies can release games with crap performance because nobody else is making the same game as them. The idea being put forth here is that, with AI, you can just clone someone's product for nothing. So why isn't that happening?
