I kind of agree, but it would be so easy for me to just throw a SRAM 10-52 cassette and Eagle derailleur on the back of a new gravel build with a 40T 1x up front and have *almost* enough range. Other solutions with 2x GRX, modified derailleurs and chain rings would ultimately be better, but require a lot more fiddling around.
