Yep.
There's a huge number of companies doing very innovative work, that people have never heard of and maybe will never become household names.
Success is not measured really by the number of adverts you see on TV for something, or whatever metric OP seems to be using.

Not even slightly:
>The number of Portuguese adults who reported prior use of illicit adult drugs rose from 7.8% in 2001 to 12.8% in 2022 — still below European averages but a significant rise nonetheless. Overdose rates now stand at a 12-year high and have doubled in Lisbon since 2019. Crime, often seen as at least loosely related to illegal drug addiction, rose 14% just from 2021 to 2022. Sewage samples of cocaine and ketamine rank among the highest in Europe (with weekend spikes) and drug encampments have appeared along with a European rarity: private security forces.
