Isn't it the natural progression of most technical devices ? For instance looking at coffee machines, the general direction was: - no machine, or decent but not so advanced machines - super basic machines, or advanced but finicky machines - crappy capsule machines, or super advanced finicky machines Depending on how you look at it, there is a path from "advanced but finicky machines" to "crappy capsule machines". Personally I think things still improved, even as the low end is still crappier than the middle/high end from decades ago.
