>>1828413XTR to my mind ISNT higher spec than XT.
M732 XT represents the pinnacle of classic mtb because it's still thumbies and the rigid era. A lot of riders at the time resented going to STI because they were less reliable.
And XT looks better than XTR. It's got sharper lines.
CNC wanks aren't better than high end inseries main market consumer parts either. You think pic related actually works better? Or a cook bros crank over an XT crank? Or a fucking colorful skewer? It's just fashion.
