Yeah, might be. I'd be curious how the transfer efficiency compares between sending microwaves from space through clouds and terrestrial power transfer from a site miles away with different weather. My gut is that the terrestrial solar wins, but it's not my area
at a quick guess i'd say right now you're probably correct.
though wireless power methods have the future potential to scale wired delivery out of the park.
i think this concept is probably something along those lines: in the future it could do some pretty awesome stuff, but it's complicated to do it right, so we kind of need to start now so that by the time its ready to shine its actually mature enough to do so.
