I hope you are right, but this is a for-profit company that has just received a new round of funding. From an Austin American-Statesman article[1], "Colossal Biosciences, which this week announced a new $150 million funding round, is led by Austin-based entrepreneur Ben Lamm..." And from a Yahoo! Finance article[2], "Colossal’s use of various gene editing technologies will make waves across sectors – in agriculture...as well as in human health through improved gene therapy and vaccine development."

I think it is reasonable to assume that there is a "business model" here.
