Blue Ocean is Economics Failure

In my opinion, the idea of a Blue Ocean conflicts with and hurts the basic principles of economics which results in all economic profits tending to zero. Whenever an industry presents abnormal earnings, it will attract competitors. Even the creation of barriers to these new entrants is costly and soon, if the firm isn't able to create sustainable competitive advantages, the ocean will turn into red.

Blue Ocean is Economics Failure

You're right in a way if you stay put after you entered a new playing field. But the idea is that you keep on innovating and if that's the culture you have developed in your organization, your "would-be competitors" will end up simply running catching up and never get to you.

Old Wine in a New Bottle?

Therefore, what is that new from old Schumpeterian innovative development? Or even from Porter's differentiation? I do believe the search for a market where competition is sustainably irrelevant (as precognized at the blue box above) is the search for the Eldorado (unless you're a state monopoly, of course!).
That doesn't mean I disagree from your point, it's just about the concept of BOS that, for me, is just another Harvard's "consulting seller" book.
