Research is supposed to be public benefiting. Private funding just is bad at it.

if another country immediately fakes the product and prevents the government from collecting back the taxes it spent on the research

It seems you misunderstand the goal of goverment. Goverment doesn't care if budget goes down, when quality of life goes up. What is the point of not researching and having bigger budget, if it can't buy thing that did not get created?

And then on goverment level there is no such thing as copyright or patent. On goverment level laws are not some external condition, but something that changed regularly.

plus a competitor can't just "take all of that work and investment", they will need to put in money to create their own product,

Not true. One major issue is that many competitors literally copy the product exactly. Fake products wreck the original company

They STILL need to put in money to create their own product. You know, they can't magic production lines into existance.

Oh no, this is so... good idea. Yarr! Pirate Party approves.

1. Performance is often more tied to the code than to the interpreter - an O(n³) algorithm in blazing fast C won't necessarily perform any better than an O(nlogn) algorithm in Python.

An O(n³) algorithm in Python won't necessarily perform any better than an O(nlogn) algorithm in C. Ever heard of galactic algorithms?

The overhead my classmates had dealing with poorly optimised code that caused constant cache misses was far greater than the interpreter overhead in my code (though at the time I don't think I could have explained why their code was so slow compared to mine).

Did they write naive linear algebra operators?

There are decades of articles on c++ optimizations, that say "use empty() instead of size()", which is same as here.
