I find this interesting. As one who has been doing this a while. I started hatching colubrids in the early sixties. Back then, it was gallon jars with petroleum jelly around the lip and a piece of glass to seal the top. It worked.

Then came plastic bags, So in the bags with sphagum moss and tied shut, it worked. Then saran wrap, wrapped on jar lids, it also worked but the dang snakes hatched out of their eggs, then hatched out of the jar. Then about a zillion years and tens of thousands of eggs in sweater boxes with sand, then vermic, then perlite, all worked fine. As in no problems.

Yet, folks have to invent another wheel, which is fine, except if that wheel causes more problems then the wheel before it.

The real problem is not the wheel, in this case, its more about their approach on husbandry. Cheers
