The biggest funders of basic research are those with the most resources. This is your insight? I don't think anyone disagrees. Then you conflate correlation with causation and move it to _monopolies_ fund basic research. Bravo.

Major monopolies tend to have the most resources, particularly excess resources that are available to spend on things like research.

That’s not suprising at all, though. It doesn’t imply that monopolies are a net benefit for society.
