This is a flawed analogy: Competing technologies -> superposition or wave-particle duality. An iPhone is not an Android phone. Facebook is not Google+. But an electron is a wave and a particle at the same time.

It may be trivial, but there are already enough people who think they understand quantum mechanics, when they do not. This doesn't help.

If you really want to be linguistically accurate, just replace "killing" with "taking market share away from". Other than that in my humble opinion, the central point is trivial.
