It is a cycle. It relates to bureaucratic and cultural inertia. The pendulum first goes to one side, then to the other. The juice thing is a moronic thing, and those who love it deserve what they supported. That means those in charge, the organizational equivalent of the 1%, are morons and anti-innovation. Those folks got to where they are from where the other 99% are, by being innovative. They have way too much capital, and too few brain-cells to differentiate anymore. It also looks like they didn't do their footwork.
Give it a few cycles, a few years, and let a few of us hard-working, thinking, and innovating 99% get a decent shot that isn't shot down by the current batch of bucket-heads at the top, and there will be another wave of "innovation". The truth is that the killer of innovation is much more about how the overall system functions, than the capacity of innovators. Did you know that Peter Principle Revisited actually leads to organizational topologies that reject talent. HR, who doesn't do math or graph theory has no idea what that sentence means. This is why there is a current drought of actual innovation.
