There are plenty of "real problems" whose solutions failed not because they didn't work, but because the founders couldn't communicate effectively.
A great solution without good communication is just as worthless as an aspirational pitch deck with no solution. Both result in a problem not getting solved.

But later artists and critics recognized and acknowledged it, and could effectively communicate its genius and importance to curators and the public. The work itself, obviously, didn't change, only the story around it did.

Orders of magnitude more brainpower, effort, discipline. Easiest thing to do is sell tech that is already working and solving a pain point.
