it's the lack of a lightweight, reliable, affordable hub gear or gearbox that is holding belt drive back
Do you think the whole “what if” scenario prevent people from forking out? (Like what if I need part for it etc.)
I know it doesn’t matter as hubs gears are extremely reliable, just interesting to hear your thoughts.

I think the main reason they haven't been more successful is because most people don't want to fork out for a decent hub gear. So unless you run singlespeed they tend to go with regular mechs.
