Maintenance, simplicity, weight. (Variation?)
But if you like close range cassettes dont go 1x. My 6870 1x set up is same weight as if I go 9070 (FD, RD, crankset 50.34) and 6800 11-25 cassette.
I like 1x on a winter/commuter bike.
42t with an 11-36 will take you up anything maybe even loaded.
Rotor cranks are pointless for anything really. A lighter and better shifting set up can be had cheaper EVEN if you stay native to sram.
