The news outlets do this with every experimental battery tech. Personally, I probably won’t even know when something effectively surpasses Li-ion for consumer applications until it actually hits the market, since I’ve been conditioned to ignore the headlines.

Yeah I think the Guardian has a weird angle on this. Still intetesting tech though.

They don’t care about facts too much. They mostly prioritize whatever will make people click on their articles.
