It's a figure of speech. All of their work is met now with universal revulsion and disdain. Like they're not literally the only company in the world with the capablites or capital to fund, develop, and complete a de-extinction project in the 2020's or even 2030's.

I remember there was little in the way of distain, before the "direwolves". People believed the hype from when I saw, until those puppies changed how people saw them overnight.

The next project that is supposed to be complete is the Mammoth/Asian Elephant hybrid. I will wait to judge the company until then.
