Does it?

The chart being used in the opening argument is far from compelling. When I hold my phone sideways, it looks as though the ESM portion is plateauing or feebly (at best) increasing. Maybe by 2040 we’d see widespread ESM adoption?

Jokes aside, I prefer ESM (and would prefer if everyone else preferred it), but leading with adoption rates is weak sauce.
