Essentially this. There are many more variables involved in that specific example, such as time since last negative feedback, total age of account, feedback over the last 90 days, etc.

As with all future battery tech announcements, hope for the best but assume that it will be some combination of too expensive, too fragile, and too difficult to scale (if and when it even reaches the promised state).

A bus is still limited to highway speeds for any significant distance. It solves the issue of not needing to drive, but it doesn’t provide a sufficiently faster alternative.

The industry metric that’s most applicable is tie ratio (or attachment rate, which is related but specific to individual software titles).

As with most markets, it will be a mix for the foreseeable future. There will be dominant players and minor ones, holes filled by suboptimal forms, etc. Even if nuclear energy were the dominant source, we would still be burning some fossil
