come into its own
Reach full potential
To come into its own is to reach a state where something's true value or potential is finally recognized or realized.
A technology may exist for years before circumstances allow it to come into its own: Solar power has finally come into its own as costs have dropped.
The phrase suggests vindication—what was underappreciated now flourishes in the right conditions.
