You can't say that for sure, but maybe you're right. The breakthroughs we're getting in battery tech now are only possible because of the very advanced tech that has come from chip processing in the past. That wouldn't have been possible 80 years ago.

Except, there would not have been an auto industry, and there would not have been the unprecedented increase in prosperity that took place over last 100 years.

Not true.....the first cars were operated by a number of different fuels.....oil was only one of them. Had there not be oil I suspect battery cars would have been the ultimate route taken.
