This is good motivation to do more experiments with dropper levers.
I'm currently using an XT shifter with the ratchet and release lever removed. Good ergonomics, but no bearing and awkward to bodge a system that wants the cable head on both ends.
It's made a significant difference to the Giant dropper, but since the keys are part of the shaft instead of replaceable brass the whole thing will be junk once they wear out.
