Both of these are likely. Also, the Hardcotton printer is able to raise and lower the resin level as well as dwell on a layer as long as it needs to, meaning it can print the solid pieces, spending as much time as needed on each layer. The Peachy has a time limit for each layer, necessitating the hollow shell printing in most cases. Though it printed the Rook solidly, and there were definitely no holes in that. If he had printed the Yoda with three layers in the shell rather than just one, I'm pretty sure there wouldn't be any holes at all and still have all the resin economy you could want.
I wouldn't call the Hardcotton printer a Peachy Clone, as the only similarity it has is being a top-printing SLA machine.
The problem here is with your core assumptions.
First, a wave will only remain stationary where it is exactly 90o to the fluid's surface, any angle at all will cause a wave to propagate along the surface. This is because viscosity carries energy between molecules in a liquid even if the direction of the force itself doesn't pass between them.
Second, mechanical waves in a liquid or solid propagate radially, similar to how light waves propagate from a light bulb. There's no way that I know of to form an actual cohesive mechanical wave through a fluid (though there are ways to fake it through amplifying and cancelling waves, but those cause all kinds of incidental vibrations that you don't want.)
