I seriously doubt it would have made any difference.But that development came about a decade too late. Listeners were no longer looking for a "new radio" but, instead, upgrading to a smartphone. That technology had to exist in 2000, not 2020.
Consumers aren't looking for portable radios of any flavor in great numbers in 2023.
Between 5 and 10% of Amazon buyers will leave a review of a product they've bought. Looking at the number of reviews, there aren't any portable radios that are setting the world on fire.
