That makes it all the more fascinating to ask exactly how it could play out in a future-historically realistic way. The current DoD doesn't build a single huge $10-trillion-dollar F-35000 Death Cloud, so what needs to change further for the trend to continue further?

Wasn’t the Manhattan Project an attempt to build a F35000 Death Cloud?

I think you could just take a look at the disaster that is the F-35 fighter program, and the commitment to throw $1.5 trillion+ at it for the next 50+ years.
