That’s from 2017 and they still haven’t gotten it to work.

Which was my point they tried GM and failed, maybe the next attempt works but at this point it’s not a fast process.

They have gotten it to work, but they are expanding trials "over the next 5 years" in the article, which means they aren't going to publish those results until 2022 at the earliest after those 5 years. You don't get published in Nature because you didn't get it to work.
You can get published in nature for doing something that doesn’t solve the problem. Just look at all that cancer research.
Which has lead to many cancers having much better outcomes than two decades ago.
