Didn't really think there would be more to the story, though there very well could be. I think this is more the case of:
1. We made something awesome in labs (by bending/breaking some traditional rules)
2. It's X% faster than traditional connections/has all these properties, let's get to market ASAP
3. Oh, in the real world, this tech doesn't play nicely with other tech because of how we built it
4. Maybe we can just muscle it through?
If the scale were smaller (let's say, developers on some widely used open source standard/code), this would have been a simple case of "oops, that's a bit shit, better get back in the lab and try to figure out a way to not trample other broadcasts, but keep the speed boosts we were proud of".
