This is exactly how almost every field evolves. We like to think we are so innovative. We aren’t. When someone finally does something slightly different that’s actually useful everyone comments how that was so obvious all along and they could easily have done that too . Hindsight and all. And for every new tech , people will always try to use it for everything, no matter how unsuitable, until the hype goes down and we have a clearer picture of where the tech should be used.
