I don't know if I'd look at it with that lens. Clearly, knowledge and analyses of this topic are resident in academia and have been long present at various levels of industry, but other factors like performance and power consumption have received generous affordances by hardware designers, and makers of system software and application software had to step in where the hardware provided little help for leak-proof sharing. In retrospect, the market may have rewarded hardware makers' direction of pursuit -- until now, but the survivors of those past pursuits remain.
Leak-proof sharing of resources may be a more marketable pursuit now, with cloud providers hosting code from mutually untrusted parties, and consumers running delivered applications and untrusted Javascript on the same machine, but I'd rather see the conversation about this topic improve across the board, independent from commercial forces.
