And the loss to the world is what?

Polaroid was always good for accurately reproducing a few colors some
of the time. The instant films were very dependent on temperature for
development. And you'd be damned lucky to take two images just moments
apart and have the same color balance in both prints.

I used a lot of the peel-apart films in my studio days for pass****ts
and checking lighting/posing for special things...and used the SX-70
style film too. As long as you didn't care about color, they served a
useful purpose.
