Products succeed or fail based on whether or not they find a place in the market. If a product doesn't sell well enough to cover the cost of R&D as well as manufacturing and a reasonable profit margin in a reasonable amount of time, it has failed and will be discontinued. An exception to this rule is an entry level product that successfully leads consumers to a product that is profitable enough that it more than covers any lack of profit from the loss leader. Knowing this, I find no reason to condemn a product. To me that's just a waste of my time. I'm retired and my time isn't worth much. How much is your time worth?
