It’s about spokes..they are already pretty light and very reliable and not very expensive....this sounds like the titanium spoke gig....

What question do they answer, what problem do they solve?
Well the amount of weight they save is significant. People spend huge amounts all the time to save a few grams, so I would think there would be interest in these.

Btw what is the Ti spoke gig? I've noticed you cant find them anymore, were they found to be really unreliable or something? I've always wanted to find a nice used set of wheels made with them but they sure are rare these days.
