Yes because the belt is one piece, most likely cut from a tubelar thing, I'm guessing. So it is out of the question for simple applications onto LHTs etc...
Even if the technology proves reliable this fact alone pretty much eliminates any possibility of belt drives becoming popular enough to displace chain drives.
