Analogy with blue & red pills are a bit strange - in both cases, according to movie, the characters had no chance to find out - what will be _next_, so at some extent it was not really fair.

So, unless you take the pill, you can't find it out, but once you took it - you have no way back.

The same we can see in our world - most products and technologies are offered "as is" - unless you try them you never know - _what_ will happen (if will). But once you took it... Well, for most companies it is not so easy to rollback - I know some which were bought some products, then realized that those are not good enough but they cannot stop using them - money are spent, contracts are signed, etc.

And, this is not easy - to recognize - is specific solution is good or not, unless... You know - you have to try it first, in _real_ world - only _then_ you can decide, and again - unless you are an expert. Most aren't.
