Batteries can be made from sodium now, why are we still here?
Sodium batteries work great at large scale (think huge. Like industrial power grids), but really not at miniaturisation.
Lithium batteries work at miniature scale, but suck at large scale.
Sodium batteries have considerably less energy density than lithium, at least at the moment. They're best for stationary use such as solar and grid backup, not for portable devices. Not really even a good fit for EVs yet.
