Vanishingly small on a hardtail, but logic isn't necessarily the forte of the cycling industry; if it were, no disc brake fork would ever have been made with open dropouts.
I'm not sure that 142×12 will be widely adopted for road bikes, but it might be because the main target markets for disc brakes and drop bars won't be bothered by the slow wheel changes.
