There are plenty of workarounds and other options if you want to stick with rim brakes, but I wouldn't expect manufacturers to continue catering new products around them. I have SRAM Force 1x on an old canti CX bike right now. It works great (the drivetrain... not the brakes).
You could swap the fork for a rim brake fork and maybe install a rear caliper on the fender bridge if you trust it enough
