One guess is supply chain issues since I don’t know of any other recent frame updates. Frame tubing availability issue seems more likely than dropper post sizes as I’m guessing it would be a lot easier to change brand of dropper post than the 7075 tubing they use.
Why you are disappointed with change from 31.6 to 30.9? Personal compatibility with other bikes? From what i have read, durability doesn’t improve until 34.9 allows for increased size of internals; 31.6 and 30.9 use same internals so durability is the same. But if this is not correct or universal for all options I would like to know more.
