Apparently plastic doesn't make a great picitinny mount.

Their peq 2 looks to have a metal mount

If a visible laser wasn't that important would the peq 2 make more sense?

Cant you replace the mount with a metal one?

Half of the pic mount on a real one is plastic and part of the plastic/polymer body, so I’d assume the same on the SG.  The other half (the actual clamp and screw) are metal.  Appears to be the same in the video.

It's the type of plastic they're using. My ATPIAL-C is doing fine and it gets whored around on multiple ARs and airsoft guns. I just tighten them hand tight using a penny.

I’m curious to see what the updated housing material brings to the table.

Along with the updated, stronger housing, you can also replace the soft alloy metal portion of the mount with a FMA PEQ-15 steel replacement mount.  Around 18 bucks.  It will take some fitting, as the two footprints are not the same, however, with a little work, you can upgrade the mount into something approaching ATPIAL quality.

With a newer series housing (75000+?) and a FMA mount, the mount shifting problems should be solved.
