If every rider was independently proposed the outcome wouldn't be the same, reconciliation wouldn't apply and 60 Senate votes would be required to pass them.

decent point

two counteracting forces:

The senate parliamentarian decided they could be in the reconciliation bill

and outside of the reconciliation bill, believe it or not, Congress does pass other bills over the 60 senate vote threshold

This R&D one would be a decent candidate
