The big problem I see is humans innate proclivity to be lazy, so these super steep STAs couple with silly 52t cogs paired to 30t rings help to promote that, along with the mainstream media always featuring DH oriented type riding and bagging on the ups or nice all day XC/Trail epics with maybe some seriously steep ups and downs thrown in, all handled by a single bike. Won't even get started on the damn money grab with the moto-bikes :-\
