Probably a similar reason as to why we don’t hear about the other potential hundreds of competing products or solutions to the same problem (in general).

Luck.

It’s just not fair in our world.

I’m sure there’s still going to be a huge need for oil based products but I agree the world economy is going to see some huge changes to it. Idk what we will replace oil with, if we ever can, plastics make up so much of everything but overall oil use will decline when it’s not used as fuel for everything mechanical.

Certainly going to be some interesting times we’ll be living through as we march towards the cyberpunk dystopia.
