I think most people don't appreciate how hard it is for hardware companies with established products to make non-trivial architectural changes. It's risky and it usually snowballs and becomes more risky. Especially when others in the market are already doing similar things, it downplays the change.
I love researching things too but I can't write coherently. I really enjoyed your article, thank you.
Honestly though I don't like writing. Finding stuff out about hardware is fun. Weaving it into a coherent article is a chore.
