I wonder what lamps will cost when made with these, and what
their reliability will be. They certainly look like they
could improve lots of performance details.

Way too complicated with a way too high parts count including three FETS and
transformer/inductor for a single 40 or 80 Watt tube. An integrated solution
has to reduce the parts count plus eliminate expensive parts to be viable.
Secondly it has to operate two or more tubes in a typical lighting assembly.
