The current economic climate (I deduce from the way my bank treats me
that capital is irrelevant and only ROI actually counts, something the
Muslim world would find difficult to swallow, maybe there is an
additional relevance there) has suppressed all research that is not
evolution, specially in industry.

Whatever, you are fooled by a concept of research that is strictly the
realm of the 20th century, a century enamoured of science and
technology.  Google has nothing to do with its demise, nor does Unix.
They are symptoms, no causes.
