After thinking about this just a bit, I come to the realization I really don't care since I won't be moving away from Shimano, for the sole reason of the superior pinch bolt system of attaching the crank. I won't notice the stiffness of a large diameter aluminum axle. And I'll gladly sneeze over the 100g weight difference at the level of components I ride.
From a purely business POV, DUB is good for SRAM. One expensive crank SKU accompanied by 4 cheap BB SKUs. Their driver is OEM, and from what we've heard OEMs don't really care since Eagle needs to be bought as complete anyways.
For buddy to call out Enduro's quality bb, citing "it must not be that good since not everyone is running it" as well as its high cost, fairly ignorant to the economies of scale IMO which is what SRAM is about really. SRAM could have worked from the Enduro's blue print on the pf92 30mm axle and produced the same bb for significantly cheaper, and better, if you believe what the guy is saying.
