And why would that be?

What they're doing here... isn't new.

We've been using induction for centuries, literally.

How do you think induction based cook-tops work?

How do you think transformers work- in your power supplies, computers, everything.

How do you think farmers have been stealing power from powerlines for years?

Besides which: Although Tesla pioneered wireless power, he wasn't using this type of induction: he was using the ground itself (IIRC)

His tesla coil, however, was / is an air-cored transformer, ie, induction based.
