That's an incredibly insightful observation, I'm sure they've never considered that and will be really disappointed the first time there's rain or fog.

The implication being that you know more about this technology than then people building it and funding it.

I know nothing about this technology but there are ways to get around similar issues. For example, twisted pair cables encode data as the DIFFERENCE between the two signals as those signals should be affected by the same noise sources. They could also transmit multiple redundant flows and error correct on the other side with a voting protocol or checksumming.
