Don’t think that’s his point. More than when proper off road enough to warrant huge tyres, wouldn’t flat bars or risers of some sort make more sense

I would argue that a better suited drop bar would be more idea, such as a wider Salsa Cowbell, or even the Cowchipper.
He does have a point of running massive tyres yet still resort to standard narrow drop bar.
Horses for courses.
Otherwise everyone would be running drops on everything. I personally can't stand most types of drops and find them quite shit for anything that requires really rapid direction changes and get pretty exhausting on techy singletrack.
