carbon nanotube tech still not more conductive than copper

Hey been researching CNT and find that no one has gotten the tech down for CNT to be a superconductor as for use a a wire. I see numbers on the order of 15-20 % of copper. So how can a manufacturer say they have a better conductor when it’s not perfected yet,seems to be more snake oil.

Just to be clear, the only claim made for CNT in the NASA link is better performance per weight. It's not clear if this is due to lower resistance or higher heat tolerances.

Is there any reason to think this would sound better?
