What I mean is that the technology is mature and adopted by a large number of independent users

That doesn't mean it isn't a speculative bubble.

it doesn't yet have mass adoption because the user experience is not yet seamlessly integrated into legacy systems

Or it doesn't have mass adoption for the same reason that legacy systems don't accept payment in tulip bulbs.
