I think they were presenting that as a conditional, not as a sure-fire bet.

With that, though: the access to the technology is getting cheaper and cheaper, thanks to no small amount by Meta's subsidies [0].

If it does take a pivotal role in our technological future (which I believe it will, but I'm not expecting you to), I would imagine it'd end up being like the smartphone: many vendors will sprout up and drive costs down, especially for low-income markets.
