That pretty much sez it all. I like to think that without Argus's ability to dump truly affordable 35mm cameras on the market we might not have had 35mm as the dominant format. Perhaps 126 would have won out or a totally new film format might have been created.

What was the sprocket-less format Kodak had at the time, 828 or something like that?

Yes, it was, later morphed into 126 film by virtue of being punched at the edge for interval stops and stuffed into a cartridge. That's how Kodak extended its production life.
