It’s a failure when despite that the company goes bankrupt and the product stops being made. Consider actually reading the article. It’s the story of terrible business culture inside private equity firms that causes amazing products to keep disappearing. Being an amazing product makes you the target of these scumbags the very first time you stumble as a business. So you can tongue in cheek argue that is what causes you to fail.
perhaps you could read the article, but the jist is that in this economic system the good product was so good that people bought it and then sales dried as nobody needed another, rendernng the company bankrupt.
The business folks are projecting on the customers. If the customers have a product that lasts them forever, then this is a success.
Edit: it doesn’t matter what happens to the company. The only thing that matters is if the customers were happy. If you focus on the things that matter, this was a triumph. A huge success.
How is it a failure to make a product that a bunch of people love? Stop projecting

I, for one, did not love it. Horrible UI. Difficult to clean. Hot plastics steaming plasticizers into the air and food. 👎

Sounds like a success to me

In your opinion, how does the concept of projecting fit here? Just that one word could be re-applied reciprocally in a completely different context?
