That would be awesome, but it's not going to happen without some sort of huge cultural shift. It's because actual science rarely directly results in something that can be monetized. That's what engineering does. Science is about figuring out how nature works, and engineering is about how to use that knowledge to deliver some sort of useful result.
Our society revolves around profit-seeking, so readily funds engineering but has always been relatively sparing about funding science.
