"It’s hard to predict what technologies will become practical"
Exactly, and since climate change is an existential threat, it would be foolish to gamble that some future technology may become practical.
Better to be safe than sorry! ( yea right! If only that was the general way industries conduct business we wouldn't be facing a climate crisis)
Maybe the profit agenda isn't based on the best solutions - but on the most profitable methods?

Less fuel is more profitable than more fuel for the same food... so yes industry cares about profits first... which is exactly why your scenario of agriculture that uses less fuel means more profits. Unless its wasteful of other resources that arent fuel, then its less desirable.. which means less resource effiency but also less profit.
This clinging to the idea of money and profit meaning bad is a huge gaping flaw in your logic.. not to say that maximizing profit at the expense of all else is always good, its not... but more often than not it tends to be a good system.
