You’re ignoring everything else I said because you don’t agree with one semantic point of a partial response, so here it is again.
Most of the time, a company can’t afford to just not release a product they worked on. They talked about why it didn’t turn out the way they wanted to in the announcement stream (the laws of physics), but assuming they had already done the investment into the R&D to produce the box, they can’t just decide “never mind.” If they do it too much, they go out of business.
EDIT: also, you said “bit by bit” in your original message. You don’t do things bit by bit if you’re not trying to be sneaky.

This has nothing to do with semantics.
I already addressed this above.
And I talked about how I don’t care why. And neither should you.
Yes? You do. Changing the entire direction of a company doesn’t happen overnight, regardless of whether you want to be sneaky or not.
You really didn’t address the sunk cost problem, but honestly I don’t really care anymore. You think what you want.
