Getting out of the niche (or not getting in it in the first place) has
more to do with PR than with technical merit. Else NeXT, the Canon
Cat, or Smalltalk would be both alive and popular. For PR you want
incremental changes and concrete applications, while for innovative
stuff you want crazy ideas without bonds to the past, and time to
crystallize them.

I think both aspects can be addressed at the same time, but certainly
not by the same people.
