One problem which stops massive everyone in innovation is psychology and culture. "Places like X" are made of people after all. People want to have kids, want to have stability, good things in life (vacations, luxury, etc).

Even if we went above the personal dreads societal dreads kick-in about the same topics of stability and reversion to the mean.
