Not an expert, but I've encountered Reed Solomon error correction extensively in my career, and this seems to be replacing RS applications? I wouldn't be surprised if there was a fair amount of inertia to overcome given how widely used and how well RS worked for a very long time. RS was critical for things like ADSL data transmission over POTS and other similar large scale applications.
The wikipedia page for RS suggests some RS implementations are now "being replaced by more powerful turbo codes".

- akhayam 4y agoJust adding some extra color: Turbo codes did get instant traction in the industry once the academics actually "believed" them to be true. So the friction came from the academics and not the industry. Today, every communication system you are using are relying on Turbo codes in some shape or form.
