And don't the trials get done in the US under FDA supervision? Trials are expensive. If you just wait a while you can instead look at the data from the US. Do they re-run the trials?

I think people confuse "tech company" with "VC funded abusive monopoly". There is overlap, mostly because one of the faster ways to fund an abusive monopoly is in tech.
But the actual tech has little to do with the badness. It comes from the abuse of monopoly and public corruption.

The only time I can recall using calc in my CS career was to take the derivative of the sigmoid function when doing NN backprop. And that use is pretty trivial.

IME, from CS, Calc was just useful as a way to learn mathematical formalism and a certain kind of logical reasoning and proof. Really any kind of math can do that (stats, calc, discrete math, set theory, etc)

As a practical matter, being a good writer is almost required to be a good engineer. I spent many years as a very Sr engineer in "Big Tech" companies. I supervised and mentored a lot of Jr engineers, looking at their work very closely.
Very strong correlation between writing and coding skill
