Surely groupset specs drive sales to an extent. Anecdotal I know, but the number of CDFs/do-it-all bikes you see about I figure it must be worth the small amount of R&D, if only to retain market dominance at all levels.

Literally all they'd have to do is design a derailleur that clears an MTB cassette with road cable pull. (And maybe a clutch mech version for 1x.) The R&D is minimal. There's got to be some very significant reason that they don't want to do it.
