I'm going to disagree a bit here. Tech Review does tend to focus on the possibilities of technology and to highlight potentially exciting research. Almost by definition, a lot of this stuff is never going to amount to anything commercially interesting. I suppose that TR could insert more implicit or explicit disclaimers to that effect but I find it a good source for insights into what's going on in the labs.

Personally, I think that Jason has brought a lot of positive changes to a magazine that, for a long time, tended toward a technology policy wonkish orientation.

So I think it's fair that a lot of what's written about "will never happen." But I'm not sure that's really avoidable if you cover cutting-edge research.
