Seems a recurrent issue, but still the focus seems to be only on the blocks.
Sure they capture the attenton of everybody, but the mainstream manufacturers have yet to come out with a single package that incorporates all the best features. So far we have (still) the G5 or even Koolance?
Now look at the various disclaimers that several manufacturers post, - sort of "do it at your own risk".
When you buy an electrical appliance does the vendor say that to you?
Would you accept it?
And it's not a question of having the right skills, because if you want to sell as much as you can, it has to be a simple, straightfoward product that even your grandmother can handle.
Water-cooling evolution/progress.
In the begining, very few DIYers, no organization. Then some of them become manufacturers, they evolve, but after a few years they too suffer from the ever more need to invest in R&D in order to achieve better products and that's very expensive.
Some derive into bling products, some make use of others DIYers ideas in order to get a cheap concept for their product, and others make revisions of a initial good concept.
But all are caught in the same net.
Now watercooling needs a new era, but this necessary leap will make the products expensive, and that will again introduce a new age of DIYers motivated by the recent advances in this industry that will try to make something different.
The dilemma is that taking this leap, in conjunction with the market share of watercooling and the present economic situation is risky.
Why are more and more manufacturers becoming distributors of watercooling products (pumps;radiators,etc) instead of tring to come out with something new?
