You forgot the most important stuff: it scales well with various technology nodes and processes, requires much less mask layers than flash and it is much more cost effective.
Edit:also , they mentioned an ncfet transistor for general use.since this transistor remember his state, you may not have to power it in sleep mode(whole circuit or partial), and thus could get zero leakage current!

Um, no, that's not the point of the NC FET. The "negative capacitance" aspect of the ferroelectric material means that the NC FET can switch on or off faster, reducing power wasted in the switching process, and therefore allow chips to run cooler.
