Except roll the clock back a bit and your would have been talking about Lotus, Machine Learning, and Unix/PowerPC. And we see what IBM has done with leadership in those areas, as well as a long line of other areas where they somehow managed to turn themselves into a 3rd rate competitor despite being in the right place at the right time. So, you have to ask yourself, for example how its possible that people are falling over themselves to build a RISCv ecosystem from the ground up, when openpower has been around for a decade now, and IBMs been looking for partners there since the original AIM alliance.
