It's the Law of Diminishing Returns: after some point, the rate at which cost increases keeps getting higher than the rate at which benefits increase.
By one metric, science is getting worse: efficiency. It's also an obvious prediction from HBD. There isn't all that much talent you can hire to do science, so hiring more people means hiring worse people, so the efficiency goes down (all else equal). https://www.theatlantic.com/amp/article/575665/?__twitter_impression=true …pic.twitter.com/cHA7ilq4Km

Possibly adverse selection as well (scientific jobs are now more political than ever).
