Many of them in big business management won't listen even when they do 
lose billions.

There's a company here that was recently declared bankrupt and had lots 
hundreds of thousands of dollars, but the CEO who owned the majority of 
the stock bought up all the rest of the stock and "re-opened" the same 
busines under the same name. Either he's an idiot or it the bankruptcy 
was a scam to get out of paying all the debt ... or more likely both.

Yep, there's lots and lots of those failed fads and ones that are 
nowhere near as popular as they were hyped to become.

Smart Glasses / AR glasses (as oposed to full masks) is another one. 
The fools in the tech companies thought people would want to wear 
glasses ... and yet for decades most people who need eyesight 
correction having been moving away from glasses to contact lenses.   :-\

Apple's Touch Bar on their laptops was announced with a bang, and 
quickly went out with barely a whimper.

The tech geeks and nerds might be interested in all this gimmickry, but 
the vast majority of the general public don't want it and won't use it 
(most don't even know it exists). Same happens in cars with all their 
modern gimmickry that is barely used by anyone.
