You are probably right. But it sounds in very similar way to the Year of Linux Desktop in contrast to Windows Desktop or Linux Gaming in contrast to Windows Gaming. "Linux is all the better! But we don't have all the drivers, because of those pesky hardware companies. But we don't have all the software, because of those pesky software companies. But we don't have all the preinstalls, because of those pesky OEMs."
It might be better, but you can't strike out network effects. Because then you just end up with another rant why your thing is superior to that other thing everyone is using.
I am wondering if good old things are not just predestined to be unpopular. Probably only new things can get popular (even if they are just miserable copies of great old ideas). Next generation is more inclined to pick up something from the news than from history books. Next generation has their new lingo, so they will not understand easily old lingo. Next generation is cheaper to employ than older generation, so it's easier to get more in terms of quantity. Most (young?) people want everything, even if mediocre, now, than having few perfect things now, few perfect things later. The world belongs to the youth.
