I don't think normal single-mode fiber bend radius is all that limiting. It will probably be cost-prohibitive to use this stuff over mitigating extreme bends with regular fiber.

If it's cost-prohibitive, they won't use it. If it saves time and money while giving a better result, then it may be worth the extra cost for the fiber itself. It's also possible that Corning can bring the cost down as they produce more of the stuff.
