Agreed. I work in medical imaging, and people in the industry are very weary of existing technology that does have theoretical guarantees. Upscaling via bicubic/lancoz, or lossy compression (even if it has guaranteed 0.99 SSIM or NCC). Then they go ahead and do reads on 512x512 pixel CT scans. Even with a theoretical guarantee on bounded error ranges, you still have the cultural perception problem to deal with. Only if the improvements from a feature perspective are an order of magnitude better will it see any adoption imo.
