Don't forget the bogus design.
You risk making it sound like "if they fix a bunch of superficial
bugs, they'll be hunky-dory". But really, there's some deep
conceptual misfires in the design.
Of course, they have capital behind them. So they can't lose. It
wouldn't be permitted. As we've recently been reminded: an
intelligence failure by capital is, at most, a little "tee-hee -- how
embarassing" kind of obstacle to continuing with the underlying plan.
