Fortunately not it seems. Basically exists because ebikes look like bloated fat guppys so they need aesthetically beefier forks so they don't look as shit.

IMO: a tacit admission from Shimano that their recent cassettes haven't been durable enough. So they've fixed this problem by making said cassettes even heavier. How's 780g for an 11 speed XT 10-50? And no it's not compatible with anything Shimano offers currently.

780g! We must be getting close to peak stupidity on the whole 1x thing.
I miss the days of 260g XT cassettes at $50 a pop and nice close ratio gears with minimal cross-chaining. Is using a front derailleur really that hard?

In my experience even basic 1x drivetrains have been a billion less noisy and unrefined than anything with a front derailleur. I like a quiet bike.
However, as far as 1x goes, I think Sram has pantsed Shimano. GX appears to be basically unkillable, and X01/XX1 stuff is very nice to use - and unlike Shimano requires bugger all attention to remain very nice to use. Fight me.

Opposite experience. GX 11sp at least seems flimsy and flexy compared to XT11sp (which is cheaper). I do much prefer the XD cassettes. Even the basic GX is light enough, durable, and shifts beautifully.
Lower end eagle seems utter shite. If I did go 12sp...which I’m not planning to, the shimano derailleur seems a ton better option.
