"If we build the spruce goose 100 times larger, it will fly even better!"
It's a tool for certain specialized applications that is being scaled up to high heaven in the hope that a mass use case will materialize out of the aether. It will not. Not a single one of these models does 10% of what these companies claim they do. At least the Spruce Goose could actually fly somewhere and land reliably in the water.
