There's a recurring theme in technology that the creators of something popular don't understand why it is popular. Often it's in spite of the thing that they think is important and often because of some completely unrelated ecosystem effects.

When the market changes they suddenly evaporate without trace and are all sulky about it... E.g. Nokia.
