The primary issue that concerns me is that we plow a lot of resources into this option because it makes doctors heroes and grabs headlines. Meanwhile, less "sexy", less headline-grabbing options that would really be better for the patient may be getting overlooked and remaining underdeveloped because it won't grab headlines.

Any source on your claim? Because there is basically research into every illness, and usually organ transplant is chosen as a last option. But when an organ does fail, there is hardly any other choice left.

And organ “printing” is simply not there yet.

Considering how hard it is to obtain and transplant organs, I'm pretty sure doctors only do it when it's the last possible option. Medicine is incredibly data/statistics driven these days.
