I mean surely someone must have ridden hydraulic disc brakes at some point and thought "this feels great, I bet it would be awesome on a drop bar bike" or taken a road bike to forest paths and thought "this is fun, I bet it would be even more fun with wider tires".

Also still no brifter compatible front doubles with realistic gearing, we'll probably have to wait another 5 years for that while nigger rigging MTB parts to sorta-kinda work. And then we'll get 1x16 with a 9-50 cassette instead.
