Well, that's the point of hoarding talent. Even though some don't turn out well, but you also manage to snap the ones that do have the talent. They might lose Jovic and Militao, but its better than letting them go to rivals where they might turn out good and you might miss out.
With what Real are doing atm, they are trying to hoard every top talent in every position that they need, if they turn out good, they hit the jackpot and get a world class talent for relatively cheaper price, if they don't, you sell them for a bit of loss and you also don't miss out on an opportunity. So basically its a win win for them.
As you pointed out Jovic and Militao, I bet they'll get atleast 50-70% of what they paid for them, still better than the galactico policy of spending 100M+ over a single player (over many promising youngsters and other options + high wages) and hope they deliver or else you're fucked.
They didnt hit the jackpot yet though. And they just burned 200ME net last season (?). That hurts. Theres no need to idealise their transfer policy.
For me theres a reasonable galactico policy for young and relatively sure bets (like Frenkie) in contrast to the the shitshow that happened with Coutinho, and dare I say, Griezmann (wrong profiles). And I am not saying we should ignore cheaper players, Arthur for example turned out well enough (and rivals anyone that Madrid bought).
I would rather see us pay 100ME for Lautaro, if our scouts are convinced, than 50ME each for two Jovics. If those quality signings are not available you play the numbers game like Madrid.
