It does not matter how many other firms that could of been making it instead of Hyperion.
I think you are missing the point, Wayne isn't arguing against that.
As I side note, am i the only person who remembers Bill Mc trying to offer the OS4 job to Coyote Flux?
Anyhow, Wayne's not insulting A1/OS4/Hyperion/Eyetech in his posts. So what's the problem? He is stating an opinion based on available information. I have more or less the same opinion. Unless you don't like the negative A-Inc vibes, but that is a given due to recent history.
