It might take a few years to refine the manufacturing process in other factories under different management. There is certainly a lot of knowledge and equipment to replicate.
To make a modern comparison, the first mass-market device with USB-C was arguably the 2015 MacBook, it was only really last year 2022 that it finally started to feel like most consumer electronics were being released with usb-c instead of micro-usb, and still many devices today are being manufactured with micro-usb ports (I even have a device I bought this year that utilized… mini-usb!!) so that’s 7+ years for something that everyone agrees is superior to gain serious traction. 3D printers are similar, after the patents expired, it took nearly 10 years for them to be truly mainstream.
