Yeah, I agree. I think it's win win win really; easy to communicate to consumers, availability for oem's should be good because of the consolidation, and they can tweak what they spec if availability of one form of Cues is weaker than another without a major sales penalty, because all bikes in a given range will now have the same groupset. Availability and cost improvements will discourage oem's specifying anything else.
I suppose the people who lose out are those who maintain their bikes over buying a new one - broken part may mean new groupset 'investment'. These lfgss types though will find a way to make it work 😃
I'm not a fan of the name. Then, I'm also not a fan of the groupset names below Tiagra and Deore either... It's almost as if those who pick these names know how to talk directly to me... 🤔
