In what way does this trivialize birth control?
The ideal of birth control as a technology would allow anyone to cheaply turn their ability to reproduce on or off with no side effects. It's no more concerned with unwilling partners than willing, the technologies work the same for both. Judging from this article the method in question is getting pretty darn close to that ideal.
The pill is certainly not the realization of the ideal form of birth control. However in an non-perfect universe the form of birth control that is verifiable by females (the sex that is impacted the most by pregnancy) is the closes to ideal.
Is there anything other than abstinence that's verifiable by both partners? Non-visible methods could be lied about whereas visible ones such as condoms can be tampered with.
