Ah yes, this is why we all know the name of the person who proposed the original iPhone project! And also why the name of the researcher who first thought of GPTs is on everyone's mind (and why nobody can remember the name of the laboratory where the work was done)!

And it's why whenever we invent something on our employer's dime, the patent doesn't bother to mention the people who took the risk of supporting the invention.

Good catch.

These people are academics, their entire career and ability to get continued funding depends on getting personal credit for their work. That is entirely different from working for a private company.
