Well, you can be pessimistic if you want. Your choice. The whole point of the OP was possibilities, not inevitabilities.

Not being pessimistic, being realistic. I've spent more then a decade now in R&D with most clients being in the defense sector. There is an amazing range of innovations and equipment that never get to be commercial products because they cost too damn much to get into the mass market. There are even technologies that cost too much for the military even without congress being involved in such things as funding. Yet there is still a constant demand for innovation.
