Indeed - you could probably make those work together by using a different axle or crank ... people want narrow Q factors but they want triple chainsets and they get grumpy when their heels clip the chainstays and why are there so many widths of hub and cassette? It's a never ending story of compromise and innovation and new standards and non-standard ...
