I'm not in any way trying to defend the business parties involved, but having worked in silicon valley for twenty fives years, I've seen that there are always unexpected, substantial complications and delays anytime a change in industry standards comes along.

I tend to take early statements and timelines with a huge grain of salt as no one really knows what's going to happen.

It's not fun, but it's such a repeating pattern that it has to be taken into account.
