While the shape might work well for drag, looks matter, especially with private aviation. This thing just doesn't look very sleek or impressive.

Cost to repair and insurance is also a very significant part of the cost, so if this is difficult to land or costly to repair, it won't be very popular.

If it comes even close to the claimed efficiency it could look like a 1961 Skoda and nobody would care
