We've long been there. Most technology markets are supply driven. People buy what's made available on the market and learn to cope with it. That's big part of why people hate computers so much, and why feigning ignorance about basic device operations is a point of pride for many a normies.
Been there for a long time. A lot of stuff, especially tech, is not bought because of an existing need, but because marketing made you want it.
