Can you point to a study showing that Neuralink has achieved any of those things you mentioned? What evidence is there that the implants have reduced scar tissue formation and what supports the assertion that they would be usable for years? What other previous devices are you comparing it to that allows you to positively assert that it is better than them?

You can not just reel off every bullet point on the marketing slides without support as if it is the truth.

the only development (and it wasnt invented by neuralink) is flexible and smaller electrodes seem to take longer for scarring to take over than larger and more rigid ones. Right now, it seems that their only path is to help people with severe disabilities get better quality of life for a few years, which many people might take.

I've worked with Deep Brain Stimulation and other cranial implants before. Mostly on the hardware side and the implantation side.

I want to stress that giving a person a few years is a big deal. It's not something to scoff at. Even a few months can really help someone out.
