There isn't any magic to the whole thing. Big deal of you change a frequency...you can do that now with good brushed ESCs. There really isn't a lot of difference. make the power go through the ESC (in time) to move the rotor. You still only get battery voltage- resistance. You can hit all the keys you want and that's not gonna change one bit.
These motors (3-phase AC) have been around for decades. Just look at any lathe, mill or drillpress motor in a shop. They're more dependable and more efficient...and I can't imagine why that's a bad thing.
