AI doesn't necessarily market all their winners/finalists so well. Clarkson really didn't emerge as a bonafide post-AI star immediately, remember the flop movie and a slow start in sales? Ruben fell into bad management and was lost in Clay's shadow. Fantasia like Ruben was more niche, Carrie was easy because country is huge and she was a natural for that genre. Chris Daughtry has the currently very popular Live/Fuel sound down to a tee and surpassed AI expectations out of the gate. Taylor is a bit of a challenge for them as well, he doesn't fit the pop genre or any one genre perfectly, a la Bice. I think personality and performance-wise Taylor in the long run will survive AI's lack of knowing how to handle him, whereas Bo might not.

AI gets them there, but it is still up in the air how far they go. Which is fine by me, I dont need my favorites to be in the top 10 all the time next to "Sexyback" and "Hips don't lie". Bleech!
