We would have a much better world to live in, and scientists wouldn’t be pressured to only study things that can be immediately monetized.
Have you ever heard of orphan diseases? They’re conditions that are so rare that it’s not profitable to research them and find cures/treatment because the population of people who need it is so small.
Some countries counter this by using government funding to research rare diseases but the progress is much slower since the funding is limited.
