On the right hand, you have a working technology and only a small
investement to make it a bit better (as smaller, quicker, ... ), and
more important: a lot of people have knowledges about that technology,
so it is easy to find workers.

On the left hand, you have only an idea, without even a proof that it
can beat the existing one. Moreover, the entering price of the new
technology is many many time the cost... without warranty about the
final product being better & cheaper.

Only fools would go for the left hand. Managers go with the right hand.
It's a no fault path, and managers can escape before the dead end.
Fools are what inventors are made of. And patent system overused by big
companies just killed that path: If you are an isolated successful
inventor, you will get ruined by the lawsuits by shark-lawers for
possible patent violation.

You only get a bag-free vacuum cleaner through the system so far...

About minidisc by sony, it was nice but started to suck at DRM already.
(integrated copy protection: 1 generation numeric copy only, no way to
transfert from disk to PC in numeric). Same for DAT tape...

About the green putty... can you prove to the FDA it is not toxic ? What
if swallowed by a child ? (law suit's risk vs interest... )
what if I burned myself because it was exhausted ? (or get exhausted...)

Magic-actor (wizard/showman) have their own tricks, but it is not for
the people.

The lawers killed your future.

Just because you can't see it, it doesn't weigh anything,
and you can't drill a hole in it and stick a rivet into it doesn't mean
it's free.
