> All progress is aimed at the rich

Oh what tosh. Most of brand new inventions might be aimed at the rich. After that, most iterative improvement is aimed at making the invention cheaper, more reliable, and easier to manufacture - i.e., gradually more accessible to poor people. What separates a Benz Patent Motorwagen from a Civic today if not a whole ton of progress?

You're right, I used the wrong word. Doesn't change the fact that working on something revolutionary is a lot more fun than working on something iterative. It's also more accessible to individual entrepreneurs whereas iterative progress is more of a bigco domain.

Must be news to all these tinkerers playing with and improving their toy drones and people contributing to Linux rather than writing their own kernel
