Yep, this is one of those "wait and see" kind of problems. If it works and doesn't fail often, it might stay around a while. The issue is that it's all "patented" or at least claimed to be patented, and that technically means that they can sue anyone who makes "replacement" parts for it.
All of the tiny little channels for gas and unburned powder look like they'll get worn down pretty quickly, unless it's all made of some kind of inconel (which I suspect is where they get the "jet engine inspired" but from). I can't imagine it'll be easy to clean either, I wouldn't want to be sitting there scrubbing with No9 for an hour. Sure, you can use "the dip" but they don't mention what alloys anything is made of, so that might be a bad idea. I guess the idea is that you replace the non-registered parts when performance goes down.
I'm just being a jerk because every time I've thought the old race-car adage (good, fast, cheap: pick two) was proven false, it was me who was made a fool.

Oh yeah, I meant to include this:
