This is going to sound dumb, but with modern technology, why can’t we place a premature baby back in the womb and make some sort of drug to delay labor until the child is fully-baked?

They can delay to a certain extent. Tocolytics (like Magnesium sulfate) can be used to delay births in premature cases, but sometimes, the body just wants whatever is happening to be over. This is called a positive feedback loop. In the case of birth, the body increases oxytocin (which increases contractual force) until the baby is out.
