Tl;dw:

Lab meat works in small (2L tanks), but doesn't scale in big tanks (which is needed to get cheaper than 50$ per chicken nugget)
- (The whole video is basically detailing why; contamination ruins the batch, continuously replacing the immune system is extremely expensive, every attempt and breakthrough has worked in small tanks but not big ones)
People in the industry know this, but investor money is $$$

Most tech is expensive when new. Prices usually come down as it ages into the market.

Are any of these points unsolvable engineering problems?
