Innovation is pretty huge even at the moment, and I mean public one.

I can personally assure you that many things are being invented and are being kept behind closed doors, yes.
But it's just economics. If I don't have a value proposition for mass market and a business plan, you probably won't hear of it.
It's nothing nefarious. Getting something to mass production/adoption is an incredibly expensive thing and letting innovation out without locking in a way of profiting off of it is the same as making it a commons.
Either way, usually when normies complain about that, they mean that their iPhone didn't get a super duper upgrade. What do you mean by "innovation actually slowing down"?

Probably slowing down. It's called diminishing returns, nothing wrong with it.

any real innovation won't ever be publicly accessible (such as a journal) until there's already a patent and a product with a hefty preorder list.
there's also the problem that US tech industries are extremely heavily dominated by software tech companies so much so that materials research and other important fields often only get 2nd and 3rd picking for the top talents and investors, so there can be some serious bottlenecks that many private companies are discovering now.

Both. Secrecy doesn't foster new growth.
