These people solved optical abberation. Even if their work leads to lenses that are twice as expensive as they are today, people whose research, or jobs, rely on perfect optics will be more than happy to pay what it costs to work with those.
Anyone else can wait until one or more companies figures out how to make the manufacturing process cost effective at scale.

How is it not? The article actually makes that claim: It would help make better and cheaper to manufacture optical systems in all areas, be it telescopes, microscopes, and everything in between.
