Ironically enough, this whole debacle with Billet Labs probably is better advertising than a proper review ever would have been. (sh.itjust.works)

The shitstorm of a fallout has pushed the community behind Billet Labs more than they ever would have gotten had they just gotten reviewed properly. It may have sucked what had happened but I think they will be better off in the long term now that people are aggressively supportive of them. Funny twist of fate in my opinion.

Billet Labs decided that they don't want it back and just want the compensation instead. They started to make a new prototype as it is likely faster than them getting back the original if at all. Can't say I blame them.

Where did you read that Billet Labs didn't want the block back?

Billet Labs made a post on reddit and in that post had a comment update saying this. They mentioned they already had started making a new prototype as they can't guarantee that it would still be in usable condition as well as some other reasons.
