As a worker drone who has spent my career in Sector 7G, I'm continually amazed at how many business decisions seem to be based on these "magic" quadrants. We spend 12 months building a capable and flexible infrastructure on Product A, only to have our management ask us why we haven't moved everything on to Product B, which is slightly closer to the top-right corner in the magic quadrant.

I always answer, "Sure, we could, if you're fine with not other progress getting made towards your business objectives for 6 months."
