Two reasons I can think of:

- "seems to have made" is important. A decade ago, Watson seemed to be a lot of progress in the AI world.

- Where's the revenue?

Watson has become IBM's Clippy....it never came close to living up to expectations.

That's being unfair to Clippy. I expected Clippy to be an annoying joke that wouldn't last long, and my expectations were met perfectly.

Well, clippy didn't last long (although I miss the cat a bit), but the clippy jokes seem to have lasted forever.

Revenue is but a single dimension when attempting to quantify “progress.”
