Tbf If a hit was strong enough to break the frame, then I don't think a flimsy hanger would save it. There is videos of people jumping up and down on the new mech and it's not even bending. Introducing a flimsy bit of metal between frame and mech would only be introducing a weak point.
*I'm not a SRAM engineer, and I can't vouch for authentication of said videos. But if they're to be believed, then the mech hanger is not needed.
I'm glad I don't have to convince you lot in change and innovation in my industry :-)
