> Which is a roundabout way of saying I think kguttag is right when he says, "ML2 looks like a product designed for the consumer market, but it was seen that it would be far too expensive for that market, it was recast as an 'enterprise' device."

Microsoft did the same thing with Hololens. First it was supposed to be an entertainment device for the home, where you could enjoy interactive experiences and mess with little Minecraft models on your coffee table. Well, that didn't pan out. Next they made a bid for the creative professional market, who might get a kick out of being able to manipulate 3D models in realtime through a headset. Oops, you can do this with a $300 Oculus Quest and a free Blender plugin. Okay, how about the enterprise market? They've got much deeper pockets, and we can just toss together a few productivity apps to make it seem attrac... what do you mean they don't want it?

Fine, we'll take it to the one place that will burn money on a nothingburger no matter the cost. We could bring these people a gilded pile of scrap metal and they'd pay 10x market price. There's only one customer that meets this criteria: the United States military!
