It's hard to engage in motte & bailey style conversations with different commentators.

The original GP was saying there was little impact on research. Your comment is a retreat to a more defensible position that I don't have an opinion on.

I didn't say anything about impact on research. I said that research can continue in parallel to commercial enterprises, and end users of commercial products don't need research papers with benchmarks to know what is better.
