I corresponded briefly with him about this. From my understanding, his goals were:
* micropayments for authors
* immutable revision history
* persistent bi-directional links
* transclusions (quotes connected to the original source) instead of copies
Judging from "Computer Lib / Dream Machines," he obviously knows his stuff. I suspect he just doesn't like programming.
I think his biggest problem was that a lot of his goals were too big for the technology of the time. Even with distributed version control, blockchains, and cloud computing we're not there yet, but we are closer than we were.
