This is quite exciting in that it removes plastic waste. I see no reason why different companies can't make different shape ones to maintain their lock-in. I expect a knock-off market to pop-up, but that exists with plastic pods too. It's a step in the right direction at least.

isn't that a time issue? Like a lower heat and longer brew should fix that right?

Sort of. You want an even extraction most of all, and while their grinders are probably pretty good, the water coming in doesn't saturate the grounds evenly and isn't a consistent temperature.

That makes sense. That seems like something they should focus on at the design stage.
