Well, this would not be the first time that porn has a strong influence on where technology is heading.

Remember VHS vs. BetaMax. BetaMax was the better system, but did not allow commercial publishing of porn on their type of cassettes. VHS, on the other hand, did. The rest is history.

That’s actually a common myth. Beta had porn too. What beta didn’t have was the ability to record a full football game. If I wasn’t at work I’d link the technology connections video on why Betamax lost
