Different how? I feel like people often say they want something different without at all describing what exactly they want different.

And then think whether that different thing is technologically feasible and economical and what % of the population would also actually want it.

Apple Vision Pro, Rabbit, and Humane Pin are three recent customer tech toys that dared to be even a little different.

The AVP is an expensive tech demo and the other two AI bubble stillbirths, but that was not what you were looking for.

I wouldn't really agree with this take. There's plenty of companies making quirky products, e.g. look at the ASUS Zenbook Duo, but they don't sell as widely and hence don't get as much media coverage.
