I find it highly unlikely that they will find a way.
I think finding a different organism is the path of least resistance.
IMO that is the path they must take.

I just don't see a name brand producing a product with fibers that are not as durable as people would expect from "spidersilk".

It would sell for sure but over time would hurt the company reputation.

I agree. One of the biggest threats I see with Bolt Threads isn't their science catching up, its them ruining the public perception of spider silk before Kraig labs can put real products on the market. This wouldn't really hurt Kraigs military applications, but people might not be as excited to buy spider silk yoga pants if Bolts "spider silk" has already dragged the spider silk name through the mud with their terrible mechanical properties. This is all just my opinion. I may be way off on market perception.
