IMHO wacom did something similar for their EMR pen tablet technology - whole in this case indeed a clever idea (pen tabled needs no battery, possibly other benefits) they only choose to build super expensive pro level drawing tablets (especially the prices of their LCD drawing tablets used to be INSANE) and only licensed the technology for presumably lot of money for high end third party products. End result - good chunk of a generation of aspiring digital artists lost due to unaffordable tools. Now when their patents finally expired and they have actual competition (xp pen, huion and others) it turns out huge surprise they actually can produce good quality and achievable drawing tablets like the Wacom One. Progress of arts and sciences indeed!
