That doesn’t make it any less important or remarkable though?
I guess I’m struggling to understand the push to trivialize it.
Transformers came onto the scene and the entire space exploded. Setting aside any technical/theoretical lack of uniqueness, it’s hard to ignore the real world results.

In the historical sense?
Because in the practical sense, if it's just the first to have this attribute, but we find others with the same attribute (as we apparently did), then it's not really important or remarkable anymore.
This seems like a problematic framing. Is that not the definition of particularly special?
