Yep, There is no way any of these can threaten the Shimano and Sram, neither
in road or in MTB. They can get a very thin slice of the OEM pie, but you'd
have to be insane to buy any of these yourself as Aftermarket, at least in
coming 5 years. Both SRAM and Shimano spent tens of years of tons of cash on
polishing the turd, they know every tiniest detail of the game, while BOX, FSA
will have teething problems for a few years to come, they just will, because
they already have, and everyone buying any of their tech is a guinea pig. And
the problem doesn't lie in high-end grouppo, XTR or Eagle are not the monsters
to fight for the upcoming companies. It is the SLX or GX that should scare the
sht out of the pretenders as the performance to price ratio is just
unbeatable.
