Oh, for sure, I have nothing against QRs on hardtails.
Though I do find it odd that the SQ1 is actually a different frame from the the 2, 3, and frame kit. I find it hard to believe that the cost savings of not doing a thru-axle rear is not completely wiped out by the cost of a developing completely different frame that is only used on one model. Unless they're considering it a value-add for their typical SQ1 customer to not have to deal with a thru-axle... or that the cost of building the SQ1 frame is so much lower that the other frame that it amortizes its own development...
