> This is what happens when the Wozniak's of the World don't have a Steve to guide them. They do what they want without a clear vision to practicality.

If their goal includes "practicality", then sure, maybe this indicates that they need a guiding hand.

But, as far as I can tell with all these types of projects, the goal isn't practicality, so you cannot tell whether or not they need a guiding hand.

As far as I can tell, these projects all appear to have made progress towards their goal.

In summary, what you think their goal is, is not what their goal is.
