Thank you for admitting that your claim is only based on your limited experience working at a co-op. The reality is that the market is much different than you describe it.

Yeah, you're missing the point. You don't need mountain shifters to actuate mountain derailleurs with Di2 or AXS. They can work with road shifters...

Seems like they're only compatible with a lot of tinkering and the use of a special battery and a software change.

Cheers
