I understand the reasoning, it's still an ugly tactic. Particularly when a build is named XT for example, but features mostly SLX and Deore parts.
There was a company (Haro, maybe?) that had a go in the early 2000's who tried marketing full group builds, it probably only lasted a model year or two.
