Nobody forgot that, just that past successes are in no way indication of future successes.

Otherwise SV would have been in Germany/UK instead of California. But that hasn't happened.

Same how in the late '80s to early '90s everyone was saying that Japan's tech sector and economy would completely overtake the US's and yet that hasn't happened but the reverse happened. From then on US tech sector steamrolled everything. Will that last? Maybe, maybe not.
