You can't design things if you don't know how to make them.
If we design it, we still know how to make it.
The bottom line is who makes the lion share of the profit, the owners of the ideas or the manufactures of other peoples ideas. I think there is strong evidence of the former.

My years of experience, trying to turn blueprints and specifications into reality, argue against your thesis.

I think there is strong evidence that unions will suck the last dollar of profit out of any enterprise. They will also lobby Washington for anti-business laws and regulations. They will then strike and call your home at all hours of the night, threatening you and your family...and badmouth your product to the public.
Who doesn't want part of that?
