Anecdotally, I seen many of my coworkers switch from Dell to Mac and we're almost exclusively a dotnet shop. The only thing stopping me from 11 is low disk space but it's really just a matter of time. Pretty sure I'll follow on to mac

What happens to the IP when this happens? If the product works but wasn't supported by the right company how does it not get picked up by someone more competent?

There's a company called Airhart that's trying to bring Fly-By-Wire to GA. But (at least in the US) I think innovation would be better focused on regulations - looking at you aeromedical specifically.

Fwiw, I spent a good amount of time with the flight sim and pilot's edge for IRA and I think it saved me a ton of money. The flying was the easiest part
