History is littered with companies that went dead because they focused on things that don't matter (open source, anti-microsoft, pro-linux). There will be a time when those things matter when it hurts the bottom-line (Dropbox), but to

It doubles as a Tablet and a Phone and I'm willing to pay Tablet + Phone + Convenience price for it. A concept not hard to understand.

The Public's lack of imagination / vision is the worst indicator of anything. There is a reason there are only a handful of Jobs, Zuck, Elon, Bezos, Gates, Buffett in the world but 15 Million people on Wallstreetbets.
