What makes you think there’s any incentive for bike brands not to stick with the garbage chainline of 55 mm/Boost 148? I mean, trunnion shock mounts are everywhere, which really only make life easier for the bike designer. They’ll switch to 157 axle only if they think it will sell more bikes. Consumer demand has to be there.
