Haha I didn't mean to sound so defensive there.
Ya I see what you're saying, with expanders etc you could get the range but suffer with bigger tooth jumps, for the average Joe it's no big deal.
But a lot of the other average Joe's feel like unless they have the same kit as world Cup level racers then life's not worth living...And now I think about it, sram actually had 10t cog on 11 speed xd cassettes... but I suppose you couldn't put expanders on those ones
TotalShanner
You can. the cassettes exist and you just need a goat link hanger, of which there are many. Your main concern will be the massive jumps between gears.
@TotalShanner Not disparaging the existence of 12 speed. I'm all for it, but 11-46 was already there, and 50t expander cogs have been about for a while for 11 speed, hence my comment about the 10t since you want the benefit of both on an MTB.
