I think the problem with his system is that it only works on certain table designs, the space inside the table has to have room to fit that safety mechanism. I am sure other manufacturers would eventually modify their tables to fit it.
The other thing to consider is people dont just cut wood on table saws, some people in the south and west use regular table saws for butchering meat. Just cutting other materials that might conduct electricity could put you out 60 bucks. Even contractors that decide to continue to work on their projects in bad weather and it drizzles could set the safety mechanism off. Its definitely a great idea but some things here and there would have to be figured out for it to be standard on most if not all table saws.
