Millions of well paid employees.... well, if you count the jobs that
went to India.

Actually, the US has a cycle of innovation. Industries are developed
here and then tend to get sold off or exported, it is dependent on
that innovation and drive to replace and refresh industry here. I.E.
the US steel indusrty up to the 1960s-1970s, then the auto industry,
then the tech industry 1980s-1990s.

Gates is an innovator even if one hates on him, he spread the means
(PC, software) to help the tech boom spread. Even if one will
stipulate Macs have been better.
