Isn't it true for a lot of newish industries ?
For instance we have the EV boom, and visibly a lot of companies are rushing in to try to make as much as they can without planning for what they would do if they become the next Toyota. But surely, some are planning a bit more ahead (or have a more long term viable approach, even if by accident), and time will tell who they are.
My glass half full view would be that we don't need most companies to succeed, as long as the well isn't poisoned.
