I recommend reading the Cliff Notes for "The Origin of Wealth" (the full book is just too damn long). Sometimes product designs with a devout following still fail the product market fit test. Trying a bunch of things to see what sticks is a pretty valid strategy, it's what nature does. Steve Jobs would just convince you of your folly for wanting anything but a one button mouse, but Eric, Larry, and Sergey would offer you mice with 1-10 buttons, hover mice, eyeball tracking systems that act as mice, a laser pointer mouse, etc. Each is a small fixed cost and if there's product market fit, the winning variant pays for all the others...
