This is a natural phase of major tech breakthroughs. It is not a negative indicator. The opposite.

It is normal for most tech to have an exploratory period, where its potential is clear, but its immediate economic impact is negative during iterations of product-market fit adaptation.

Normally, the producer of new tech eats most or all of the risk and cost of the search for product-market fit.

But some tech is so compelling, that customers feel the strategic need to participate in the discovery loop too.

Obviously, there are upfront costs and risk deploying/trying tech that is still hit-and-miss. But during a sea change, there is also risk in not experimenting and adopting/adapting early.
