You seem to be a bit synical. The history is that this is a kind of hobby for Robert. Yes he want to develope this thing and I'm sure he believes in his invention. There never has been evidence that Robert is wide open, pedal to the metal, etc.
The test stuff is expensive and Intertek is probably footing the bill and they move at Intertek's leisure.
We all know what a shame, etc. about this and that but they're still trying to finish to the point we have a viable product. Remember after that Robert holding us up all the time should be less a concern.
