Not clear what was internally driving Sonos' release of a clearly not-minimally-viable-product from the point of view of its users. What vreasons might they have had for pushing this release out now and sticking to a high-level "we need to rearchitect so we're iterating and will bring it back".
Why not wait until it's ready?
I may not agree with their decision after knowing all the information, but at least hopefully there's a better reason than the dogma of ship now and improve over time.
