The vast majority of bikes sold are not gravel or CX bikes though. Nearly all otp cheaper bikes come with some form of Shimano, I reckon the portion of their business for selling individual groupsets is much less than OEM to manufacturers, let alone one niche section of cycling

11/34 with 50/34 is decent for the average “gravel” user, especially since gravel bike tend to have 11/32 with 48/32.

Re: R7000 groupset, I find it amazing that Shimano haven't released a decent 'gravel'/CX specific 1x groupset with hydro braking and c.42t casette, especially as it would only take adapting the cable pull on the existing designs. Surely they must be losing a big chunk of this market to Sram by now.
