Being that engineer in a PCB Fab in China who has to punch all the vias by hand

Are these pushed by hand? I'd believe if you said it happens in the UK. Fabs are still stuck in the 90s.

bias (even blind) are certainly automated these days. only time i've seen people manually via in the last several years is using a pcb mill, and little copper rivets you could slam thru a fr2 board for quick in house top/bottom prototypes

Joking.
There are videos from JLCPCB (one of the biggest). That stuff is 90% automated.

I would love to know the application of this ludicrous PCB, and I'd be even more interested to see the quote price

A4-sized, 32 layers.. I'd guess something around 1500€ at JLC.

It would be interesting to know if the finished board would work at all, given there must be some non-zero failure rate for each via.
