Keep in mind their claim is that it's effective on 99% of dino's, not that it's effective 99% of the time. I don't know how many strains of dino's there are, but I'm guessing there could be hundreds or more. It could be effective against nearly all but not effective against 2-3 strains that are prevalent in our aquariums. Could be other factors in play as well.
It's another tool available to us to use. I may order some lol! UV has helped me, but I haven't had the "Wow, these things were gone the next morning" experience that we all hope for. Heck, I need to scope what's left just to make sure it's not another strain or something other than dino's at this point.
My status is I finally grew algae on the back wall instead of dino's. My snails have nearly completely devoured the algae leaving only coraline, so dino's are not growing back there. I still have to blow off my rocks daily, but they don't come back as bad as they did before. On the sand, they come and go with the light but there are a couple of patches dead center that stick around, though greatly reduced, with the lights off.
I just replaced my carbon yesterday so I want to see if that has any measurable effect. Also looking into the sea lettuce as a potential solution.
