Misplaced sense of prestige.

No one wants to drive a BMW. Everyone wants to a) Travel from point A to point B b) Have fun c) Impress people with status symbols. BMW created something that satisfies those needs…

People have other motives than their own happiness.

Nope. People's desires shape marketing. Not the other way around. Marketing caters to people's pre existing desires to convince them. Desires have always existed and always will.

I'd say it's more likely to peter out/be acquired and killed due to the overall lack of vision. Discipline is good for local optimization, but it doesn't build huge companies on it…
