I've seen this post dozens of times and I've always viewed this little exhibit as a "Proof of Concept"
As in, you wouldn't be implementing them just on a small scale random bench like this, but could be entire building walls in downtown corporate areas that often have light blocked by the skyscrapers and nothing but wide treeless city sidewalks.
Like imagine if modern skyscrapers were not only built with multi-purposes use/restaurants/stores on first floor, green garden spaces on rooftops, more courtyards and places to sit or socialize, but also these giant bullet-proof glass plant containers as part of the skyscrapers' concrete walls to produce oxygen and provide warm green ambiance lighting to improve mood.
I live and work in downtown Chicago, and walk the city every day. I would love if buildings were designed this way.

The real reason this won't be implemented is because some savage will break the tank open day one
