I don't agree. Every new technology take some time to reach a critical mass.
This is absolutely normal, and I guess proportional to the complexity and
innovation capability, training phase, etc.

In some other regions, there is real deployment, read services and real
applications already working. Those missing that may be are starting to miss
part of their business.
