I certainly would not consider 10% Mac marketshare as 'success'? If that is the case, then Windows would be considered an interface personally touched by the gods. And it can be argued iOS is 2 steps forward and 3 steps backward. The fact is, it is not an iOS focussed on productivity. With no file system, it's hard to believe it ever will be.
Nope. Marketing should not be the sole measure of a successful interface design.
