There won't be flying hover cars in 2019 or in 2049. Why didn't Blade Runner retire this Jetson cartoon fantasy of the future?

2049 fits into the Star Trek First Contact universe of 2065, but Blade Runner's world is very different and 2021 isn't looking realistic for synthetics or off-planet industrial mining. Was Blade Runner best left retired?

While I enjoyed parts of it, the film seems more like a way to cash in and setup another series of sequels rather than an interesting new sci-fi exploration of the future. A dystopian comedy called The Jetsons 2049 would be equally believable, and an explicit recognition that the authors are stuck in a flying car, super city future that simply isn't going to exist.
