If all these academic institutions are publishing their findings doesn't that share the secret sauce with foreign non friendly competitors?

Please explain the idea of quantum algorithmss/software using the cloud (i read about some Israeli company focusing on this) and more about the software side of quantum and will the industry look like a bunch of cell phone companies with many brands or like the cpu industry Intel vs amd , a few players dominating the market. Basically if the hardware is so complicated to produce will it lead to only two or three competitive manufacturers with most competition being in software and components?
