I totally agree with your statement. It's amusing to hear Suresh say the industry is waiting on us to provide a solution. 
The industry being billion dollar mega cap companies are waiting on Poet Technologies. A company trading at 45 cents USD pre split and a market cap of 171 million USD to extended the life of transceivers to 800g, 1.6tb, 3.2tb etc...

The AI machine learning light bars are going to be even bigger. We know about Celestial but there is another partner I hope they can announce soon.  

Exciting times ahead.
