That doesn't mean people won't try to push, again as we've seen in Ukraine. Almost all forms of conflict became asymmetrical; deadly, and it makes headlines, but for the most part asymmetrical warfare could not existentially threaten a nation.

in the 1990s during the breakup of the Soviet Union, the United States convinced Ukraine to give up their nuclear weapons with the promise that the USA would defend them if they were invaded.

Congratulations: you have a small, lucrative share of the market cornered. You also have a Moat that is AI resistant.

It's a tragedy that more companies haven't worked this out.
