Their handlebar availability is clearly based on some kind of production run system. They sold spare bars for the Aeroad last year. These are no longer for sale. They currently sell bars for their gravel bikes and the Ultimate. I'm guessing come end of the model year if you're late to the party buying whatever stem length you need and miss the boat, it's RIP.
Nobody should buy a bike knowing that by the time you take delivery and go in for a bike fit, the correct sized bars you need may no longer be for sale.
I'm in the market later this year and will probably buy a Giant Propel, which uses separate bar and stem but nevertheless hides the cables. That's the best solution by far.
