That's bull. People bought the iPhone in spite of 'it has no physical keyboard', 'it has no copy paste', 'there's no place to put a stylus', et cetera. If people don't understand the product, you need to sell it in a way that they do understand. That's why marketing is still an expertise and not a side gig in most successful companies.

The iPhone wasn't successful because it was "bleeding-edge tech", it was successful because it was a bold and innovative remix of existing technology.
