I wish Shimano would do a hydraulic/mechanical 1× groupset.
Why prefer Shimano?

I like Shimano parts and have always had good experience using them.

Clutch mech ≠ 1× group. I want a Shimano LH hydraulic drop bar lever without shift mechanism/Di2 buttons.
That's exactly what I want, that they don't do.
How difficult is it to take out the shifting internals? Especially on the DI2 parts.. You're just a left shifter disassembly away from a 1x group. Ohh and a 3rd party N/W chainring. If you really want this, it's really low effort.
And @LeePaton is right.
