Teams including my own have worked very hard to secure the ability to get stuff machined off site. We have a small sponsor that churns out CNCed parts like no one else and we're very grateful. It took my team tons of work to come up with what little resources we had.
What makes you think the teams you are referencing just had these sponsors fall into their lap? What makes you think if you're not standing by the mill as it's running you're not trying, or you've somehow done less engineering?
