Robotics RL still on Isaac Lab PhysX despite mjwarp's 2x+ training speedup

The author notes robotics RL practitioners still heavily use Isaac Lab's PhysX even though mjwarp is available and switching to it alone yields over 2x faster training. Community inertia keeps the older stack dominant despite an easy win.
