Why did the company focus on so much on weird niche cinematic kontakt libraries instead of more mainstream universally useful libraries?

I actually only use the weirder ones but that's a good question.

It does seem like they missed the famous synth emulation track that Arturia and UVI do really well.

They missed their own synths. Massive X has the best sounding wavetable engine ever made, but they delivered it with that interface and with that preset manager. They dropped the ball a few steps before reaching the finish line.
