I made my post before reading yours and you’re spot on. The initial concept of a novel invention is usually not all that functional, but the idea compounds with other technologies until it becomes a very useful invention. Your airplane analogy is spot on.

Thanks kind Redditor, appreciate you :)

And yes, I think people are only looking at what this is, in this very moment, and not seeing it for what it could be, the future potential, all the tech and advancement that could come from stuff like this. Maybe nothing comes from it, maybe a lot does.

The shortsightedness in here is palpable.
