Might be a selective bias effect? A lot of hardware stuff has crashed and burned. Most famously fusion has been 20 years away for 60+ years, and there's always new rechargable battery tech that's going to replace lithium ion in a few years. For computer hardware, mram, feram, and optane/crosspoint memory has all been pretty disappointing.

It was all over the trade publications, very hype, such bling, much buzz: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubble_memory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubble_memory And then it just basically turned out to be a flop.
