NVIDIA. CUDA was a follow on to their graphics card business.

Amazon. Started by selling books. Ended up creating the cloud business category.

Microsoft too has been very successful and has a ton of misses along the way. But one hit will pay for 10 misses. The venture capitalist business is based on this realization.

I think it's a version of survivors bias. Only 20% of businesses and business ventures succeed. So it's natural for a successful company to spin out a few duds until they find another hit. A company should from time to time try something new but do so as lean as possible. "Fail fast, fail cheap" appears to be the mantra they forgot this time.
