      Which is also a travesty. But it insulates them from government somewhat.

      Also: the government grants they got was for stuff like “trying to cure cancer” and “experimenting to figure out better battery chemistry”. You gotta be a fucking idiot to stop doing that because they aren’t deferential enough to you.
