You might not have been wrong, except you were. Making something awesome is half the problem, with marketing the other half.

As you correctly stated, you have to find something everyone [would] want and provide it. These days you don't even need to find a majority market, but even an unserved niche.

Perhaps that's how trikes will soldier on.

The way to move on is to continue generating ideas. Let those that don't stick fade to the background, and those that do move forward.
