To be fair, the ambient temperature being 37°C versus 0°C already makes a significant difference in terms of e.g. the air density and the amount of lift the wings get, how easy or hard it is to start up the engines, whether ice is a problem, etc.
If the 15% difference in delta also translates to a 15% cost/efficiency difference, then that can absolutely make the difference in whether the technology is economically viable to apply at scale compared to its alternatives.
If it’s cryogenic, will it work in warm climates. Is it cheaper than conventional jet fuel?

Uh yes?

is la and san fran in summer hot enough? they have hydrogen refueling stations for cars there and afaik they work year round. if they work that is.
We could theoretically subsidize our way through the cost difference until it becomes cheap enough to sustain through market mechanisms
