"Platform technology which has been in production goods for almost a decade."

Here are some other current platform technologies: AI, EVs, self-driving, robotics, the internet, the cloud, video games, lab-grown meat, vertical farms, windpower, lithium batteries, thermal batteries.
None of these broke through in under a decade from their first inception. This is what I meant when I wrote earlier
"They also have no understanding about the technical complexities and hurdles to jump that are inevitable when trying to launch a new platform technology, which is not something that happens more a few times every decade."
The fax machine was invented by the Victorians but didn't succeed until the 1980s.
You think you're all so clever trying to second guess what's happening but you're out of your depth because you fail to grasp the whole context in which new things come to market and you can't possibly know what all the participants are attempting.

You have to invest for the lifetime of the company so that you can benefit if and when it executes its whole strategy. No-one said there was no risk. No-one offered you certainty. You have to expect to tie up your money and you have expect there will be setbacks, like patent disputes. If you don't accept these truisms then you made a mistake and should reconsider what you really want.
