UNIX / C won, and, like the Smalltalk vendors, Lisp Machine companies believed their own hype and thought the superior product (with a high price) would win them the day. Turbo Pascal and C were good enough, followed by good enough from Microsoft, followed by good enough Linux / BSD open source. I do wish someone would revisit these machines in the modern era, but it looks like the more conventional RISC-V will be the Linux of chips. It seems like you could build a Connection Machine on a chip these days.
