"If this material (hBN) could be made industrially at scale"
It exists already as an abrasive, cubic and hexagonal crystal forms. It is what I use when I don't feel like using diamond for stone grinding and polishing.

The original article describes how the authors do that (growing larger crystals) that but they are using a pretty time intensive process.
