They missed out on drones and blockchain.

drones may still be a thing, and weren't nearly as hyped as blockchain.

my barometer for penetration is how often the non-tech people talk about it, e.g. goofball uncle didn't buy a drone, but he went hard on BTC. if he's still holding he probably made money recently, too.

My uncle bought a drone but didn't touch BTC. I agree penetration isn't the same, but it's also very different crowds.
... and Cloud! Don't forget The Klaaooud ...
Nah, I see plenty of “my code executed in a CPU on someone else’s computer” in that list.
Cloud isn’t really hype. VR or metaverse is the one you’re forgetting
Cloud today, edge tomorrow.
