The same goes for other technology products as well...

- look at the 'defacto' Video standard:
= VHS
there were other, better, alternatives (Betamax, Video2000) but it became VHS...

- look at the game consoles:
Playsation 1 was 64 Bit while the concurrent SEGA console was 128 Bit... which one had to go? the SEGA...

It's not always the best product or the best manufacturer that get the succes... a sad story
