From the article:

Could a superheavy element be a lead alternative?

A few sentences later:

the best-suited isotope exists for only about 20 hundredths of a second

And that's the problem with every superheavy element so far synthesized. Half life measured in milliseconds, and even enormous expensive equipment produces only a handful of atoms. Interesting stuff, but industrial application will be elusive at least until the "island of stability" is reached.
