I can't help but think that NFC and the technical implementation differences between Isis and Wallet are a total red herring as far as consumers are concerned. Isis have already stolen the momentum but have wasted it with inaction. Non-NFC

Comment bait title aside... That's why you do it in steps: you build the bulk of your product first before you have customers and need investment and then you shift your time to other things. Nobody is going to hire an engineer to free them
