[Competitor] Adhesive-FAIL

LATAPOXY might have been revolutionary, but apparently people don't even realise what it does, even now. Below are images of a major Adhesive FAIL.
This job was spot fixed in a competitor's cement based adhesive which has failed within 18 months!
This home is in Mermaid Waters beach side of the road, a multi-million dollar property. If it had been laid with LATAPOXY this would not have happened.
Shouldn't it  be done right the first time rather than requiring a return to FIX a problem?

Tile size was 600 mm x 300 mm going up the entire exterior facade of this chimney.
