I've read the article. Can you elaborate on why is OP's example wrong?

So according to the article, it's all about the people requesting the changes. Spoon users try to use that spoork, and they realize it's not deep enough to spoon a soup. The developer redesigns it, makes the spoork deeper to enable it to spoon a larger amount of soup. Then the fork people try to stick their vegetables onto their spoork, but now due to the increased curvature of the spoork, it isn't straight enough, and the vegetables will fall apart and won't stick onto the spoork.

If you create a separate spoon and a fork, each user has their perfect tool.
