Making the transition from disk storage to flash and other non-volatile media is perhaps more difficult for the makers of storage than it is for customers.

Once you’ve standardized something, and other people start building on it, you can’t change the standard without a lot of agreement and effort—after all, other people are now depending on your product remaining the same across many cycles of development. This certainly kills innovation, as implementing new things both exposes your ideas to public view before you can implement them, and slows down the pace at which new ideas can be deployed in the real world.
