Or, it works well, is robust and influnces future development of their cheaper rear mechs to alleviate problems for regular users who's bikes come specced with SRAM. We've already seen the wide range eagle stuff trickle down to cheaper group sets making better MTB bikes for people not interested in the expensive eagle stuff and expensive bikes. (E.g NX etc).

I think the point is that "here's our version of something that can work (ignore big if)" manufacturers do it, but cheap out a bit and don't do it perfectly (big if is still ignored, despite being a feature rather than a problem), things start breaking because they weren't manufactured to tolerances, also someone makes a new one that's almost the same but they've solved the problem with frames and mechs breaking all the time by adding a small, sacrificial bit of metal that will bend or break instead of the frame or mech if hit hard enough to damage either in a lot of situations, only $90 from wolftooth.
