Why? Nothing about their construction method is ground breaking other than the use of 3d printing for the couplings. Trellis frames have been around forever on motorcycles (see ducati as a primary example) and for many years on niche performance street cars (see ariel atom). They've been used in racing and lots of other applications as well. CF tubing is incredibly strong and the couplers provide a strong and proven way to join the rods together to allow for more complex shapes that would otherwise be prohibitively expensive to make in a single formed tube. Overall, it's a neat project but as I said, not at all ground breaking.
