@fasterandworse@hci.social @larsmb@mastodon.online half the goal of modern technology is to create general purpose wizardry boxes which not even the inventors could've foreseen, so while I agree with OP I think there's heavy caveats and you can't extend it very far. Consider the Sinclair vs Apple II home computers. One was a box of blinking lights, the other inspired and taught generations. Inventors create, and customers find unexpected uses for it (for better, or often worse.) Duct tape only rarely fixes ducts anymore.
