It was an experiment to keep bright engineers busy with cool ideas to show off.Even back then they could have known that it is not a viable idea to make a tectonic platform switch with not much business arguments for it.

I don't think so. Feels like it was more about getting away from Linux and all the driver issues it entails.

It's a very long-term bet for sure.
