The items on your list are mere pin pricks to a sleeping bear:

They seem so to you only because you have the benefit of hindsight.

For example, TurboPascal killed the profitable computer languages division of Microsoft at a time when over 50% of the revenues were coming from that side.

Or take the MacOS which was good enough to kill the other half.

That is certainly "a catastrophe. b. A grave misfortune".
