Five minutes (refil time) is pretty damn good for that Hyundai! And the range is also far better than I would have expected.
Fuel cell wear has also taken great leaps forward, as you've said.
And so it looks like that (5 year old???) post is now rather out of date. Tech moving faster than expected!
But the last claim, about hydrogen being hard to make and distribute with low losses? Your link has nothing to do with it. "We're reducing production costs by 60% over the next decade, says the industry hype group" is nice and all, but it doesn't address distribution and storage. And in fact the use cases they're listing largely avoid those concerns by (afaict) colocating the production with the consumers.

Here is a better article regarding hydrogen's future cost: https://web.archive.org/web/20190823013233/https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-08-21/cost-of-hydrogen-from-renewables-to-plummet-next-decade-bnef https://web.archive.org/web/20190823013233/https://www.bloom... > Renewable hydrogen costs may fall to as low as $1.40 a kilogram by 2030 from the current range of $2.50 to $6.80, BNEF said in the report. That could slide further to 80 cents by 2050, equivalent to a natural gas price of $6 per million British thermal units. Gas in New York closed at $2.17 per million Btu on Wednesday. It last traded above $6 in 2014.
