Because The Boring Company hasn't built any tunnels worth noting, perhaps, and stalled most of its projects.

This isn't a case against tunnels, this is a case against The Boring Company.

The tunnels aren't a great idea apriori. Good luck pitching the tunnels idea in Venice.

The tunnels may be a good or a bad idea depending on many variables, and the tunnels that the Boring Company has actually built are worthless.

As for the tunneling equipment: selling those machines isn't their core business, and there's no evidence these machines have, or may in the feasible future, do anything revolutionary in the tunnel industry (i.e., built radically better, radically cheaper, or radically faster).

The idea of having such machines is good. They don't have such machines.

It's never premature to say that. Read what you wrote.

You can say a field has been revolutionized once a revolution takes place.

It's hasn't.

The impact of the Boring company on the way tunnels are dug is, very sharply, zero.

Is it possible that they will? Sure. It's also possible that Britney Spears will. She still has the time, it's premature to say she wouldn't do it, right?
