If this has been a thing for 30 years, why is the hardware best-in-class? Also, is there a presentation that is more impressive/innovative but perhaps less theatrical?
The hardware should be best-in-class due to the massive amount of channels (over 1,000), and the fact that each channel is surgically implanted into the head. For comparison, 16 channels is on the high end for consumer-grade BCI kits, and each channel is a sensor that rests on top of the skin.
As far as why they aren’t making use of its capabilities to do something more impressive, I don’t know.
For what I would consider a more technically impressive presentation, see this video of a man controlling two prosthetics in 3d space to slice bread.

I assume because Musk put a lot of money into it and got the right people together.
I think that monkey video is the most advanced thing Neuralink has put out.
