I remember the reactions when the first M1 macbook actually landed in people's hands and honestly can't remember a single one which wasn't at least 'well I'll be damned this is actually ok' - and the great majority was 'this is a revolutionary device'.
This kinda never happens in football, sorry ^_^

Yes, exactly. The people who use things like them. It was the same with the iPad. The ones who bought them loved them. But the groupies were booing all the way into it dominating that market sector.
These people, nominally technology enthusiasts, appreciate very little.
I remember the reactions on /r/technology when the iPhone or the iPad were announced. I remember the reactions when the M1 processor came out. Just like this audience, lots of people who subscribe to this stuff nominally care about new technology. But the truth is that where I religiously chant "We're ARSENAL, ARSENAL FC, we're by far the greatest team the world has ever seen" they chant something else.
These reactions are meaningless. "The iPAD?! It's four iPhones stuck together HAHAHAHA and named after a MENSTRUAL PAD HAHAHA this is going to flop".
The difference is that Arsenal will only fail to win the Champion's League once every year. These guys die a thousand deaths every day they see new technology.
