I'd argue the opposite when it comes to lightweightedness.
Of all the motivations for weight weenie-ism, I think a bike designed to be folded for storage and transport is the most suitable candidate for actual savings. I don't care what my road, track, gravel, touring bikes weigh... I roll them out of the shed and I'm on my way. And I don't have a climbing bike, I'm too out-of-shape for that!
With my Brompton however, I have to fold it, and lift it, and carry it around stations, take it into buildings, up the stairs in my house etc... if it can be lighter and still functional, I say make it lighter!
I might even go as far as to say that if you aren't folding the Brompton up in order to carry it into and around places where full-sized bikes aren't appropriate, then perhaps you might not be taking full advantage of one of the key selling points of the bike.
If you need it only for a commute from your house to a train and then to work at the other end and all you have to do is lift it for a couple of minutes or so, 12-14kg isn't such a hardship but if you've got to cary it for any longer than that, you'll likely appreciate the weight savings.
Internally geared hubs aren't so tricky, so I wouldn't let that put you off.
If you don't invest in the lightest version you can afford from the off, or even if you do... there are plenty of ways to buy weight savings the future from third-party providers.
