High mass should always mean less resonance. Basic Newtonian stuff.

Scientifically only, in marketing or wishcraft it can be anyone's guess

Doesn't snake oil increase resonance?

So still, nobody's tried one?

This seems to be a product that has as much snake oil content as the Hipshot A style bridge. An improvement, as far as the immobility of a locked KSM, but it's still just a fully adjustable bridge for bass or guitar.

And sustain, all at the same time, like magic that defies science. It also seems to increase arrogance and aggression.

Ya know, it doesn't seem a bad bridge. And there are companies out there throwing around a LOT more snake oil. Perhaps they indulge in snake oil for a reason; that it gets a bigger market share. They ARE a business.

Odd, you put a question mark on the end of a statement.

Could you show us how? What ridiculous marketing make believe is Hipshot using?

Did you look at the patent? Did you see anything in it that hasn't been on the market for many years?

I don't think it will ruin a bass, but for the snake oil part to sucker people in they had to make the bridge inferior in terms of adjustability. I think if intonation or height adjustments influence each other that much the bridge is inferior to other choices that are cheaper.
