I would argue that Magic Leap is not super successful. They have raised tons of money in the private market but much of it seems to have been smoke and mirrors (similar to e.g. Theranos).

Could you point me to a super successful public company with a proven track record, high revenues, rising stock price, etc. that is focused around a bad idea?

Medical equipment and software. It's over engineered. It needs to break more.

But you could just say the idea is playing to medical regulation and a dumb public.

So the answer is any company that pivots. ie. Youtube - https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/308975

OT:

Read it and follow it up how he went. It might interest you.

If anything, I think the example of medical equipment sounds more like a good idea with poor execution.
