Do not understand 1x obsession. Why, pls?

I got a 1x SRAM crank a while ago as I never used the smaller chainring, you're not going to be climbing mountain roads like you're in the TDF so you don't really need 22 gears

In reality you don't even have 22 gears.. Effectively it's more like 14 or 15 gears. So there's hardly a difference.

Especially when going from 50/34 + 11-28 cassette to a 44 + 10-42 cassette. The range is the same, you just have less parts to go wrong (and easier shifting)
