Well, all the tech advances brought by doing R&D of JWST happened already ~15 years ago and already are at the market. But its just the same thing as with R&D done for F-35. With notable exception F-35's R&D is still work in progress because of upgrades, while JWST will remain a piece of late 2000s tech to be taken out of the attic in early 2020.
