They've got billions of dollars to dump into a ginormous phased array with nearly perfect acoustic isolation, no gravity or kids tripping over wires to mess up an absurdly long baseline, custom software stack, custom steering loop, and probably even custom silicon. I'd expect them to do substantially better than some dudes in the desert with glorified cookware. Especially when it comes to the steering loop, because if there's one thing phased arrays are really, really good at, that's it.
