Because the only actual problem in EVs is making a better battery. They solve a bunch of other problems. Far fewer moving parts, better packaging, massive gains in pure energy efficiency, no smog, a direction for Zero emissions. The Internal combustion engine, as someone who has owned multiple Manual Mazda Miatas, is seeing the end of it's times. It's a dead end in almost every situation. Additionally, this has none of the gains that are actually desired, they want efficiency and less emissions. Not chlorine gas.

Edit: To be clear, I'm talking about Gasoline ICE applications in the context of this article, which is far more narrow than all of combustion. Most ICE applications that are not ground transport are Diesel, which is not applicable to this. This is not applicable to jet fuel. Most small engines (lawn care) are rapidly being replaced with electric power as well.
