Maybe there isn't that many 'single frequency' commercial products?

The new iphone uses a metasurface for structured light illumination: https://www.yolegroup.com/technology-outlook/metasurfaces-br...
What people forget is that new hardware technologies can take decades before they are used in commercial products. Quantum Dots were first synthesized in 1981 and are only in commercial stuff since the 2010th. Teflon: Invented in 1938- first commercial use in 1961. Semiconductors: Found in 1898, first commercial uses in 1958.
