Plus you'll probably have to drop the drive unit to replace the dropper post cable / housing. Hopefully none of those cables are touching the steerer....
Time and again it seems like bike designers get to two days before the deadline and have an "oh fuck we have to route cables through this thing!". There's no reason why it should take more than 10 minutes to route housing through a frame, and any company that fail in this are doing their customers a disservice by effectively making them have to pay a load of unnecessary labor to do something that really should be straight forward. It's all fine if this discussion is had during the bike sale, but how many sales humans are going to say "the bike is great but the cable routing is a fucking disaster that'll cost you a load of grief and / or money."?
