It was revolutionary in that he found a way to present a technique of meditation designed for beginners, as a mere starting point from which to explore more interesting techniques, as the "end point" of meditation itself. In other words, he presented a kindergarten level of meditation as "the best, most effective form of meditation on the planet," and convinced millions of people it was true. I'd call the chutzpah of that pretty revolutionary, wouldn't you? :-)
