Except those recycling technologies exist at scale and are prohibitively expensive.
This is where PWRs are after 60 years of maturing the technology and there are many low hanging fruit to be picked because there have not been large quantities of silicon panels for more than a few years.
Those Gen 3 reactors are still steam engines, and it's questionable whether steam engines can compete even if the heat source is free.
