I think you are probably right. But what is really frustrating about this is the lack of alignment on what people want vs what industries need. We talk so much about how capitalism is built around people's needs, but that betrays another reality, which is that people only get what capitalism produces. If we were a planned economy we could skip right to an android in everyone's homes. But we wouldn't even have the tech for the android with a planned economy. So instead, we have to feed capitalism what it needs so it can innovate. Which sometimes is just a net loss for everyone in the meantime.
