I have been wondering if bike companies have been using PF BB shells and 30mm cranks on top end cranks to get around SRAM's policy of only selling complete drivetrains for OE. It seems like a small niche but if that's true that could have been part of the reason for creating DUB since SRAM was missing out on those sales. I'm not sure if it would be a money saver for bike brands but it allowed slightly more boutique components to be spec'ed on higher end builds.
