The problem with having none is that makes your transistors even more vulnerable to quantum effects.

That's not the main problem. The main problem of not having a bandgap is that you don't have a transistor...
Sshhh.. It's not allowed to talk in that way about the graphene "transistor". You may upset certain funding sources.

But you know, it is really fast! Just almost useless transconductance and no off state, but we can fix it later!

But bilayer graphene has an induced bandgap!! What? The mobility goes to shit as soon as you touch it with a substrate? Well that's not a problem, we'll design vacuum suspended GFETs, but I'll get right back to you when I figure out how to put an oxide around that sucker
