I'm certain they were showing that same system at Crankworx in 2019. With most 1x cranksets you can buy rings with different offsets and chainrings are a wear item. If clearance is an issue (it is with some Super Boost setups) you can swap the axles on some cranksets (Race Face) to change Q-factor.
I guess it does lower the SKU count for FSA stocking cranks and potentially could as well for manufacturers like Devinci who make Super Boost and Boost bikes.
