I agree with a lot of what you write even though I still see value in the idea behind MVPs. My biggest issue is with the discourse and the stories that are written about. I find most so-called case studies of successful product dev by methodically following the lean process to either be lacking OR highly suspect(due to key missing details). I was reading the book Nail it before you Scale It and while I wholeheartedly agree with the title of the book and even the theoretical ideas, it was disconcerting to me that a lot of the successful examples cited in the book are companies that no longer exist. Overall most authors on this topic do a great job of pointing out how a company wasted ton of money on building a product no one wants but the same narrative seems to oversimplify how the company finally achieved success.
