I don't know why this hasn't happened to corporations - you'd think someone would try it, at some point, and that if it actually worked pretty well it would eventually allow them to outcompete, even if it was the sort of innovation that meant you had to climb uphill for a bit you'd expect people to keep periodically trying and for one of them eventually to overcome the activation energy barrier?
