A potential reason as to why it has not already taken off is perhaps that many companies were entrenched in the dev path for Flash memory ... that is now coming to the end of its scaleable road... and there are new technologies vying to be the successor.

An interesting comparison although not computer related is the vanadium redox battery ... discovered by an Australian Scientist in 1990's accidentally ... Vanadium redox batteries ability to store vast amounts of energy but up to now there was no need to spend large $$ developing at no-one had a use for it ... Now we renewables energy storage and we do .. an they a scrambling to get a large scaled version up.
