Given how much people spend on drugs that only pretend to reverse aging or treat one small symptom of it, I'm pretty sure a pill that actually does reverse it would be of major interest to billions of people.
In general yes, if the protein works as a good drug the matter of synthesising it is a solvable engineering problem.
However we are not talking about a pill. We are talking about a daily injection. We are also not talking about completely reversing all aging but some aspects while likely suffering side effects.
Given the priors in a case like this, it's unlikely that everyone will soon take daily injections of the protein.
