...yes? It is?

Sorry. It's not just marketing if you can buy them.

And that means they should?

Of course not! What do you think I'm arguing for? I'm saying that if they were trying to make some kind of sneaky change, they wouldn't have taken five minutes to talk about it in their big event.

"Aw sorry, we really tried to make something" doesn't cut it. If you can't do it, don't do it. Simple as.

This ignores the realities of running a company. Once you've sunk development dollars into a project, you can't just walk away from it. You have to recoup your investments somehow, or you just end up hemorrhaging money and go out of business and can't do anything ever again.

How many products that are antithetical to their entire stated purpose do they need to make before you see that as a red flag?

Well it needs to not be a single component in a product that's a tiny minority of their business, for one thing.
