Even pre-computing (think electric light and the telegraph), there's never been a notable new technology that didn't have a "bubble" phase as part of the normal technology adoption lifecycle. It's even codified into things like the Gartner Hype Cycle (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gartner_hype_cycle). The companies who don't find product/market fit will die, which is fine and normal.
