you know as far as I can tell there’s nothing in canon that says that Beta Earth Jake and Jane didn’t found SkaiaNet and/or appropriate Crocker Corp resources early enough to engage in war profiteering during WWII

they would have been in their early thirties during the war

and I strongly believe that either or both absolutely would have sold reverse-engineered alternian or paradox tech to the US government at outlandish prices
