While true, I think you need to make an argument that those issues are specifically anti-innovation.

Really tho I think we collectively use that term whenever it suits us, without much clarity on what innovative outcomes actually are. We need a better definition and better yardsticks.

Of course there are many different things that can aid or hurt innovation. I believe that one of the things that aids innovation is accessibility to a wide spread of developers of all ages, so measures that make this more difficult hurt innovation.
