Following your own logic, only because we haven't seen it after the events of TWOK, doesn't has to mean that it is lost tech.
- We know of many accords which are banning certain kind of weapons. The Genesis device could easily have been banned too.
- These could have brought back to Earth (according to the TWOK novel, they were in fact brought back to Earth by the Enterpise).
Prove that even with the scientific advancements, they couldn't reconstruct the project even without any data from the original crew and their records!
Prove that it is lost tech - although it seems to me to be more plausible that it is not lost! Convince me!
