Since then, I concluded, similar to other posters here (with much longer tenure than me), that the BB10 OS lacked business viability even when it was released. This is completely independent from the person of the CEO of BB Limited, for me it could be anyone, dont care about him/her anyway.
On the other hand, there are posters here, who, even now, display an almost religious devotion towards BB10 OS and consider it almost a cause rather than a simple tech product. These people (maybe because their identity is, to an extent, intertwined with the mobile OS they use, BB10) sometimes display online behavior similar to Q Anon adherents (e.g. impervious to reasoning, deny/dismiss/explain away any fact or event or material proof contrary to their preferred narrative, etc. etc. etc..)
Therefore my admittedly sarcastic remark.
