The result is yet another competitor to NAND Flash memory, which retains information even when the device is powered [...]

It’s kind of like Benjamin Moore give us multiple paint mixtures that could best match my high-gloss or matte needs.

Yes, some will perceive that, and you may find each side jockeying for segments of the same market. But the proliferation of new memory technologies indicates to me that we have to make use of the best-of-breed across speed, cost per bit, and overall endurance. It is unlikely to be ‘one type fits all’ for a while.
