If you know anything about this particular alloy, it will take hundreds of millions to perfect it

I was using their golf club driver head 10-15 years ago. Maybe it was imperfect but seemed OK to me. Came in 2nd place in a tournament with that club (and I suck!).

Also many years ago been to parties with the founders of LQMT... leave it at that. No further comment.

I think if you're looking at real volume manufacturing yes the machinery would be very expensive ... but really that's true with anything new, including next generation chips of all sorts. It's not that high a bar if the demand is there.

Would Apple pay $20million as a defensive measure on a material they might, or might not ever use? I don't know.
