Fractal vises are apparently a thing?

Found this, never knew such a thing existed and now I need one:

The original really took off it seems... :)
I guess they've been around a long time, but maybe haven't been very visible, which clearly was a shame as, well, look at 'em!
And within but a week or two, there's a 3D printed version of course:

3D printing is one thing, if you look at the original one you see that the parts are not even exchangeable which indicates that is difficult thus expensive to manufacture.
Today with cnc machines it coukd be done easier but due to the cost of such an 5 axis machine still pretty expensive.
I believe some startup company is reproducing it.
Oh wel, if it was such a great thing why did it not survive time such as the Stanley tools etc. Probably not that much improvement over standard clamps.
