Please elaborate in what was innovative here, their technical infrastructure seems to be nothing to write home about and well appointed office leasing has been around for quite some time.

The social focus is indeed different but I wouldn't call that alone a massive paradigm shift.

The friction eliminated and expanded flexibility from normal office leasing was quite pronounced. Add to that a huge block of delighted customers. Not sure how you are defining innovation but there is clearly a lot going on there.
