No motivation to do better leads to stagnating tech evolution. If you remove private business you stagnate

There is motivation to do better - inventors are praised and financially rewarded, and those who successfully apply new tech are too.

Sure, an inventor won't turn billionaire, but he also won't run a risk of losing it all trying to apply said invention. Market actually scares many off, it's not simply a land of opportunities.
