>> so to put a lot of investment into no advantage makes no sense

The same might have been said of efforts to develop 2400 baud modems, when Whois's (Shannon's?) paper clearly showed it was to no long-term advantage.

The progress of a culture is a simple enertial system ... it's acceleration being governed by the mass of obsolete technology it expels to propel it forward. Therefore, I would expect those who take the longest view to welcome the production and excretion of Edsels as a reliable sign that the powerplant is functioning.

No cable here. Meanwhile, I run 768k in both directions and smile. And, I suppose, move more rapidly forward.
