Yeah, they're all taking a gamble and hoping that they, not their peers, will be the lucky ones with the breakthrough.
Yeah, I see language like this a lot, but we don't live in an idealized microeconomic market with perfect information flow and competition levels.
Some companies are in highly competitive spaces while others have found a quiet, profitable niche.
