Invoke Defense Procurement and jail a bunch of CEOs so others fall in line?

Probably hire people to do it themselves. They are the government, after all.

Pay someone else to develop. Usually someone shows up because people need to make a living.

Not going to happen because building for the suckers in government pays. Or rather overpays.

Hypothetically, they will import people who will do it.
