This is like saying gold nuggets are worthless because people want refined products made of gold...
It's fucking helium bro, it's easy to separate it from anything else. Because it's the lightest noble gas...
Fill a balloon with 10% helium and 90% atmosphere, and the top 10% of the balloon is pure helium.
That's how easy it is to sepeeate it.
You're incorrect, but at least you're incorrect confidently, I guess.
Here's a link where a helium extractor explains the process:

It's a lot more complicated than "let it sit in a tank, bro. Trust me, bro".
Thanks for the link. Interesting read.
No problem, glad you enjoyed it!
