There is truth to that, but my tourer doesn't have a replaceable mech hanger, so if it snaps I've got the same issue, but it's a 10 year old bike frame.
Just think Evolution of tech shouldn't start with ridicule. It's clearly not priced or designed for normal riders, but it's new and interesting and has lots of potential for future rear mechs that could make a difference (looking mostly at the limit screws).

It's the problem to a solution. Has some great features but it has been overshadowed by the stupidity of removing the crash damageable cheap mech hanger, and beefing up the derailleur.
So if you crash, your £700 derailleur is probably fine but your frame is snapped. Not Sram's problem.
