So the idea is to bypass Ilford and make home brew ??
How long before Ilford gets pissed and one raises the price of paper to compensate for loss of chemical sales?

The prices of Ilfochrome materials are unbelievably high already. There is a small, loyal group of customers who buy the products to make gallery prints, but it's very possible that Ilfochrome is dying soon as it is quite unusable for normal printing due to its price.

Probably any attempt to make it possible to use this fine process will increase their paper sales.

Who will one point fingers at if the home hobbyist can not mix right?

Ummmmmmm...???? Maybe you can point your finger at yourself if you do something by yourself, for yourself?
