And now it's 2023, and they're inventing the wheel again.
Not a very robust analogy. There are tons of different wheel designs out there. Some are good for racing and suck for rain. Some are great in the snow but are noisy and inefficient on the highway. Etc... Maybe their needs are so special they need a wheel design that doesn't commercially exist?
Someone really needs to reinvent that analogy.
