I guess in the sense that they are both very different designs to anything else on the market - and don't have usable water bottle mounts :-).
I get where you're going with the idea of a 'floating single pivot' where the Marin's main pivot is the strut mounting point although I also get the view point that it's similar to dual link bikes just with the strut being linear. Either way it's probably easiest to refer to them as (lower case) virtual pivot point bikes and go for a ride.
The R3ACT design also travels up the 40mm. I don't know how much Switch Infinity moves but it's definitely much less.
The Marin rides a lot differently that the Yeti. Where the Yeti is quite linear the Wolf Ridge has a floating amount of progressiveness and is very, very easy to set up for a balanced (front-rear) ride.
It's definitely an interesting bike to attempt to equate to other bikes.
