"Now it's my turn!" -Federal circa 2025

So I guess the question is…
Does this innovation justify the expense?
Well that depends more on the individual not so much the innovation.
If, let’s say a plurality of individuals (adequate market share), buy enough rifles in this chamber….then it is here to stay.

Just my guess. I’d like to shoot one for sure. But I don’t need to buy it,
Yet

They're testing it in the civilian market but this innovation was requested at the behest of the military, which gives it a very good chance of sticking around regardless of if the hunting community is willing to give up their '06s and .308s (cartridges that also started their lives as military rounds).

Big Caveat* IF the military adopts this. Currently the .277 Fury still has legs in that application. This was a good read today: https://mdttac.com/blog/7mm-backcountry-a-promising-caliber-with-potential-pitfalls/
