I wonder if those carbon blobs provide any advantage over 'normal' framebags.
From seeing inside it, the tail blob had loads more useable, and accessible, space than a tail bag. It was like the boot on a small car - just open it up and pile stuff in. Also they should be more waterproof. My Apidura certainly wasn't - in fact none of my bags were.
For the frame blob, presumably the aeroz straight on are better as that carbon surface should be smoother and slipperier than a bag. But it might be worse in a cross wind, basically like a Trimble frame, which was meant to be very fast, as long as the yaw angle was no more than 5 degrees.

I hit two clips and my bag unfurls so it's not a faff. I was also stuffing my bag with wet kit every couple of hours so it being waterproof was largely irrelevant.
As for aerodynamics - it's bigger frontal area than a bag might count against its slippery surface but without testing, who knows?
My bag was sexier to start with but ended up a bit limp and sad so not sure about style points.

I'm not sure I'd want a hard-case style.
