Exactly; there was a similar situation with Atari corp. Initial ST shipped without the planned but not finished yet "blitter" chip. With the STe they rolled that out, but a couple years later and it never got good market penetration. But by the time they got to the late 80s with the TT030 and the Falcon 030 it become pointless because main CPU was in most cases faster than hardware blitting. That's the problem with custom chips. An approach that was invaluable in the 70s and 80s for the 8-bit machines, but became a handicap by the 90s.
