I contend that if the design of NT were suitably flexible, it would have had the necessary attributes, or would at least have been able to be extended compatibly (isn't that what Microsoft prides itself in doing -- extending things?) as a superset without requiring all new drivers.

BWDIK.

Was Windows NT a platform we should build our future on?
Yes.

Is Windows 2000 compatible with the way we did it on NT?
No.

Will we trust Windows 2000 to be compatible with the successor OS?
No.

Will we build our future on Windows 2000?

This is how sane Microsoft customers think. Don't buy products just because they were designed by good intentions. Buy products that help you.
