yes, the bonds off plane aren’t strong. optimizing this is critical to achieving good tensile strength even in your other example, carbon fiber, There’s a vast differences and the tensile strength and modulus depending on how you make it
not really "an efficient market" for mechanical components yet, but you're right that chopped fiber composites aren't great. Composite laminate structures are more limited yes but more complex geometries are possible Arevo Labs is doing remarkable things. https://arevo.com/ pic.twitter.com/yow46JIE9F

Well, yes, if you include stuff that's starting to get commercialized Mantis Composites estimates 70% typical weight savings over machined metals. Alas, Arevo does not know what it's doing and is cringeworthy. I can't go too much into their poor understanding of the markets...
