I see what you are saying, but AMSilk can only improve on the process if they figure out how to mimic the way silk is spun from the animal itself. Even AMSilk stated:

Researchers with AMSilk wrote in a technical paper this summer that creating spider silk threads was a significant challenge because crucial parameters of how spiders produce silk are not fully understood or could not be replicated technically. But they also stated that the availability of a ready supply of spider silk protein will speed development.

So yes, they have a lot of this spider protein, but the intricacies of forming spider silk using spinnerets may be years away. Even if they do figure it out, it will have to be done at the molecular level, which will not be cheap.

KBLB does not need to improve on a process that is over 5000 years old. It is already commercially viable for an inferior material.

For now, KBLB has the only viable option to spin the fiber into textiles. IMO. I do look forward to what AMSilk is able to do with their product.
