Big problem with ultralights is it lets the weekend warriors go on overnights when they would otherwise be too weak to walk five miles into a campsite. Not to mention the price gouging as you try to save ounces. Mostly my pack is 30 lb base weight and I can go about 25 miles a day, if I dropped weight I wouldn’t do much more so I think at that point it’s just laziness and out of shape city folk. I’ve been backpacking for years and never seen an ultralight further than 10 miles from a trailhead, highly impractical for alpine, any seasons not summer, etc
