Yeah no need to worry about littering, so far I've picked up an AXS shifter and battery from the trails. Just waiting for some poor soul to donate a derailleur.
AXS is definitely nice, I'd consider it for a road or gravel bike but not a mountain bike where I see derailleurs as disposable. I can't tell you how many people I see with mid-spec complete bikes who have chosen to spend $600 on AXS instead of tires, wheels, suspension, or other more performance related upgrades
