By the time Lithium chemistries are completely mature, we won't be using them any more.
sometimes the reason we don't get new technology sooner is the invested amounts in older present techs has not been recovered to margins of converting to newer tech. old stock would take a hit too. They usually do phase outs over time.
when computers were first coming out for public sales ppl chased bleeding edge. lot of vendors were losing money with the out dated stock. everyone wanted bleeding edge. I learned to buy stuff a generation or 2 older because as you say it was being ironed out - sorted.
Most ppl Want it NOW. Why initial now prices are also high then prices drop later as determined by market. Sometimes prices will go up with great products.
For another instance if EV 800volt batteries start trend then EV 400volt manufacturers might go solar directions to run new inverters as previous pointed out from Megarevo vs shutting down lines. Market re-directs just a thought. Lithium might become solar oriented if made safer. density vs density

Lithium ion batteries have one of the highest energy density among any battery types. These batteries provide an energy density of about 100 Wh/kg to 265 Wh/kg. LiFePO4 The energy density of an LFP battery is slightly lower than a lithium-ion battery. Their energy density falls between 90-165 Wh/kg.

High-capacity batteries are highly sought after nowadays, for a wide range of applications. These batteries serve the purpose of recreational batteries,

Having come from a large corporation will say BEAN COUNTERS OFTEN WIN for decisions. They ruin things too. Am trying not to go off topic but safety has a price point with them.. cheaper the better so cut corners. roll the dice.
Notice video stated insulation comes from aircraft industry well Boeing has a not so good reputation right now. Again not trying go off topic but sourcing matters for building things.
Cabon fiber materials used on the fatal Titan sub were sourced bought from Boeing and think it was mentioned they were old stock

Sourcing of components can make and break end items when assembled as complete component. So root cause has to be chased. From the drawing board to the proto types to R&D proof to customers is sometimes long. If short time then things may have been rushed. Some manufacturers want status of being first even if it is bad. Employees often make or break too - weakest link in a chain will be seen with a heavy pull. Sign use to say "never enough time to do it right first time but always time to do it over."
BEAN COUNTERS will always scape goat too. These failures can be traced if they want to really see. New designs are always welcome. Bleeding edge involves a cut from the old mold of doing things.
PPL use to shout get a horse at ppl with broken down ICE.
