Would be great but I don't see it happening personally. TA definitely here until ta boost takes over.
Flat mount only causes crazy price hikes on steel frames or something like that and most frames in the future will be carbon or alu to offset the weight of batteries and motor etc so it's also unlikely to get bounced

I wonder if thru axles and flat mount is going to be the next technological advancement that won't stick. Like pressfit bottom brackets, they only offer an advantage in certain circumstances.
These frames would be my ultimate gravel/bikepacking/epic long journey bike. Geo that's based on the salsa Fargo. It's a stiffer frame so will ride better with heavy load, has 135mm qr dropouts and it isn't suspension corrected so you have way more front rack options. Now if only it had a kickstand mount.
