They might have made different design decisions that could have

I doubt it. In spite of being a low grade dictation format, it had
an enormously long run in the marketplace. Nearly forty years,
for a short while even being the dominant release format thanks to
the Walkman. I can't imagine beating that, no matter how much better
engineered it was.

In spite of being arguably the worst release format ever (slightly edging
out the styrene injection-molded 45 for that spot in history), it just
kept going on, and on, and on.
