If I'm going to be out the whole day I appreciate the more tightly paced casette, big ring for asphalt/gravel/fire road sections and granny ring for climbing up the hills at the end of the day. I understand 1x setups if riding is downhill oriented trail riding but if you go with double why not just go with triple? You can even add chainquard on triples - even the shitty hybrids have those. The weight difference is minimal and you still got the derailleur. And it seems that no one cares about weight outside XC-scene (check out this £2800 bike that weights almost 15 kg).
