You can hope to be a millionare by winning in a lottery, but planning it is something quite different.
Taking your example, Skarphol, you can plan to win in a lottery. It only has 2 limitations to overcome the random nature of the lotery: Money and time.
As you don't have unlimited money and time, you have to live with the random factor and that may serve you well and win you at least small sums in weeks, but it may also cost you a million years to win.
Same is true for Oleg's situation. If the random factors don't interfere, he meets his plans. If not, he either has to invest more money, which probably does not come from an unlimited source or more time, which p*sses off people like you. Even if the random factor is not equally high as winning a jackpot, the model applies to any project.
And BTW he didn't "miss" the release-date by 3 years. He announced a new product and postponed it in favour of other product. You would be even more p*ssed, if only 100% reliable info was released, because we probably never heared anything from Oleg, possibly not even model-shots, because they might not be 100% sure in the initial release.
