I never really got my head around why users would trust the home version in the first place.

Just wait for stories about waking up one morning to see the camera extended and looking at your bed.

Different products for different markets are different products for different markets.

It's entirely common to pivot from non-product-market-fit to product-market-fit. That's what companies are supposed to do.

Oh no no no. Companies are supposed to be perfect and clairvoyant and never make a mistake. So it’s entirely reasonable to expect them to have no need for learning or fixing or reversing a decision.
