Seems like you are just subscribing to the first option I gave, "their agents currently lack the capability to do it", but saying you think they will be more capable in the future if they can move away from the inconvenient-to-use prototypes after more research. Thinking it might be possible in the future is not in disagreement with anything I said, so I am not sure what you thought was unreasonable about my description.

Imagine someone looking at digital camera researchers showcasing a ground-breaking new sensor, and reacting by saying "Well obviously they're completely indifferent and do not care in the slightest if their work is used by real photographers or not."

Like, "Orr... maybe they care a lot, but haven't gotten to that part yet?"

You are conflating the two options with each other (lack of capability vs indifference). One of them is true, not necessarily both ("or", not "and"). I did not claim a lack of capability was the same as indifference.
