I feel like the market for any fundamentally hard problem is bad, simply because it either solves a problem people didn't know they had, does it in a way that requires educating people for them to be able to use it or requires scale to be effective.
Take the internet for example - before the internet existed, the 'market' for the internet sucked.
For me, any company that failed due to solving too ambitious of a problem is the best kind group of people to invest into again and again until they succeed and succeed big. The people running it will have learned the easy lesson of solving a smaller problem faster, while retaining the chops to actually solve hard problems.
All too often, people fail because they solve too small of a problem - there was a recent discussion about that on here regarding a macos calendar widget.
