Yes, for France, the USA, and the western world, for countries without bizarro economic systems, value is accounted for and taxed at source, not sink.

Sales is not the only source of value to be had. It is weird that you are on this site and think development is value free.

I find it the opposite, I find weird that you are on this site and think value magically appears out of R&D since the countless startups which are failing every month... Just look at YCombinator data from the past 5 year and I bet most of the startups back then (which had products) failed because they did not generate enough revenue to sustain themselves.
