Sorry I am not saying that X technology is not important, transformative, etc.

I am saying that the average person is going to want to just have things that work. They are not going to want to have a hobby of using X technology.

It doesn't matter how much you lower the barrier to entry on making apps, websites, games, whatever. Most people are just going to want something that is ready and off-the-shelf.

I mean, why do people pick an iPhone over a cheaper Android even if they are functionally similar? Aside from the (valid) green-bubble/social aspect, it's a much more polished product.
