Fatalist sure, but not revisionist. Commodification is a natural process for everything that isn't unique, iPods, EVs and Dropbox alike.

The iPod was never “commoditized”. It didn’t o market share to other cheaper “good enough” music players. It was “obsoleted” as technology moved forward.
Saying the iPod was commoditized is like saying 8 track tape players were commoditized.
