Unless it has a usable capacitance and voltage rating and unless resistors, ICs are reduced in size seems this might be a nice device on paper waiting for an application.

No. Even capacitors in the picoFarad (billionth of a volt-amp) range are useful in radio-frequency communications modules. When your carrier frequency is in GHz, and your inductor is in nanoHenries, it is natural for the capacitance to be just a few picoFarads.

That’s my point. I could not tell from the article what the range was. It could be unicornFarads for all I could tell.
