I thought it was relevant. Alcantara is a new material in computers, and we don't yet know how the wear will be.
The video describes the wear on a steering wheel, which seems comparable given its also something the user puts their hands on to interact with. As we know, hands are dirty & oily, and thats one of the biggest challenges in choosing what materials to build a computer out of. See ABS vs PBT vs other plastics in the mechanical keyboard world - people care about this.
The video at least gives us something we can look out for. There may be a wide variety of Alcantara types out there that wear differently, we don't know though.
