that was a big jump from what I said. and what I said was that research lives off grants so researcher can't really come back and cry about strings attached to grants. ofc the problem is faceted, as grant go to published authors with track record, creating a publishing mafia, but everything rotates around the cashflow.
but you want sweet grant money, you play the game by the rules.
researcher that don't want to play the grant game can go and find a VC to subsidy product creation
