I cut a couple open recently, and the legs are actually hollow. No honeycomb. The top ~40mm and bottom 15mm are wood composite plugs, and the center is air. The skin is about 2.5mm thick wood-ish material with vinyl-ish wrap.

E3D has driven the majority of hotend innovation, not Prusa. Ultimaker's Cura and PrusaSlicer cross pollinate regularly. Grégoire Saunier created the Bear frame. Numerous other nonprofessionals are creating small and not-so-small improvements which haven't become well known.

But yes, the bedflinger FDM architecture is mature. Innovation is incremental now, not radical.

Eugene or Portland Oregon, Pittsburgh area, northern Ohio, Maine, Santa Fe or Albuquerque, Colorado Front Range, Madison Wisconsin, maybe Milwaukee, maybe West Lafayette Indiana, maybe Chattanooga, just off the top of my head.

The maybes are places that were nice to visit but I don't know very well.

Could be 185%, could be 18.5%. Nobody has any idea how policy, productivity, demographics, climate, technology, etc. will interact over the next 40 years.
