The SK6812/APA102s come in a 2020 package now, but I haven't seen them on a strip. @wow_elec_tron on instagram has been working on his own flex pcbs for them. I think he may do a kickstarter to get some in production.

Isn't that exactly what HP is doing now when they sell a cheap printer with replaceable cartridges that contain ink and a print head? Are you saying the "plumbing" is the difficult part?

I suspect "economics" in this case means they weren't making huge margins on ink cartridges.
