if this works out does there become a bottleneck in the world's ability to produce space-ready, useful things (satelites, telescopes, etc).

Its incredibly costly and complex to build things like the james webb telescope and that would be a great problem to have, but are there any measures of the demand for rocket capacity at given price points?

are there any plausible efforts out there (eg rough equivalent of an activist investor) attempting to convince universities to curb their addiction to hiring armies of administrative employees who (often) do nothing and (often) are paid several X what a phd candidate receives as a stipend

are there any meaningful ways to change the incentives to something other than raise as much money as possible to hire more administrative employees to raise as much money as possible?

(also if my premise is flawed and there are other things that contribute significantly to the burn of universities lmk)
