I think this could be heavily attributed to the lack of VC and Angel funding in the adult space. It's actually something that makes it easier for anyone to be competitive in the adult space, ironically.
In mainstream, there is a wide array of funding available to you and if you have good rapport within your industry you can easily dig up some serious funding to make a large entry into your target market. This, for the most part, doesn't exist in the adult space and so it fosters a system where there are lots of small startups with little to no capital / funding.
For the large companies that are already on top... they don't see the need to push hard into the unexplored functionality territory I mean... who's going to surpass them with better offerings? Most people will tell you the adult space is highly competitive but it's really only competitive in certain areas. As far as tech, website offerings, A/B testing, and about a dozen other things... the adult industry has fallen behind.
Shap, we should talk shop sometime I have some great ideas for Twistys ;)
