Is it really that bad of an idea to experiment, put things out into public, and see what works and what sticks? They haven't abandoned agent-browser and portless, which came out of these vercel-labs efforts because they're useful tools and people are using them.

Back in the day companies used to have productization teams that separated pie-in-the-sky R&D from product, product teams, and product-like marketing.
