To be honest, British also has an injectable stainless steel, but its application domain is much more different.

Yes, it is injectable, which is a unique property a material that exhibits some properties of steel.
The downside is that it is brittle.
Are you sure? Liquid metal was the name of a bulk metallic glass. There were usb flash drives using it as a case https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquidmetal. Wikipedia lists apple licensing this technology.
Metal injection molding is also a thing but I haven't heard it called liquid metal. Usually its MIM.
