You jest. Businesses have been happily dumping BB over the last couple of years, as they discovered the original unique selling point (OTA push mail and sychronisation) was no longer unique and no longer outweighed the myriad design flaws, poor UI and limited applications.

Blackberry didn't release the Z10 and the Q10 because they thought it was a nice idea, they released them out of desperation and because they needed a phone that might be able to compete on an equal footing with the more dynamic, better focussed competitors who had shown up Blackberry for what it was.

Market share has been declining since about 2009 (source: IDC), and unit sales halved since the latter end of 2010 (source: Gartner)
