There's always been a tradeoff between climbing and descending capability.
If you're that upset by the bike design then you need a 100mm World Cup spec XC bike.
If all MTBs require you to climb in a pike position, chin touching the front tyre, then it’s technique, I agree, although I’d also have a question about current MTB design.
