Like a lot of cases where a new technology is introduced, it can take a while to figure out the limits of the technology and the processes needed to manufacture it. There is an urge to get the product out to market quickly, but there should also be someone saying "whoa... we need to do proper validation testing first". Finding the right balance between getting to market quickly and getting all of the bugs out isn't easy.
