I do know someone who make that switch. He considers himself "old school" and when he bought a new bike a few years ago he had the bike converted from DI2 to mechanical shifting. He also scoffs at disc brakes and road tubeless tires. A lot of experienced older riders who buy new bikes nearing retirement age buy the bike they couldn't afford when they were younger
