Ok I get your point. Most inventions are from folks who take joy in solving problems. HP is a great example. Founded in a garage to provide engineers tools. As the company grew HP set up independent divisions where the organizing principle was solve measurement problems for engineers. That was my passion.

There are many example of where society (University start up support, NSF business development programs, corporations funded skunk works and independent folks with a passion for problem solving creat innovation.

In big companies some innovations bubble up because of the company culture. Intel organizes around continuous improvement.

In some companies innovation is too disruptive. EVs replacing gasoline and diesel is a good example.

The amazing research going with batteries is a great example of innovation everywhere all at once.

I thought your point was promoting a style of “worker” control of government. Innovation works best when society allows and encourages folks with a passion for problem solving to follow their passion. As to how that becomes broadly available, that is a very different story.
