Questionable finger pointing

I wouldn't point fingers at Sigma engineers, if the other much bigger and more resourceful camera makers have chosen to stay away from this wonderful technology.

Could Sony or Canon, for example, have done better? Quite possibly, but they wouldn't. Reality is: nobody had the balls to take over Foveon (with the intention to further develop it instead of locking it up forever), except a nobody 3rd party lens maker. Why do you think is that? Why didn’t competing sensor makers even worry when Foveon was going someone else’s way, if it was not for the almost insurmountable challenges.

Keeping these facts in mind, I feel grateful for having this wonderful technology in my hand, and can’t bring myself up to accusing Sigma for not doing enough within their limited resources.
