I'm as keen to wax poetic about the non-economic potential of technology as the next person, but I'm not deluding myself into thinking that was why the technology was developed in the first place.
Also, a military advantage is an economic one, there's no real difference between the concepts.
So you’re saying all of technology is the result of saying “we could make money if we had a thing that did X”, and none of it is the result of “we found a way to do X because we thought it would be cool.”
If nothing else, you just dismissed most of mathematics
and basic physics.
