This is the only reference to this technology that I can find on HN, and there are no comments which are critical of it. Is it a scam? Is it revolutionary technology? Is it a clever way of lying to your power meter? Are they simply charging too much for their boxes?

Why isn't this being talked about? I don't understand.

Perhaps we should reexamine direct current distribution: Direct current is much more stable and lacks most of flaws that distort alternating current.
