Hah, if only... Time and time again the ecosystem moves not to something that is better, but "same but different" or also commonly "kind of same but worse".

There are so many cases where the "worse" solution "won", and there is a reason "worse is better" is such a popular mantra: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worse_is_better
