It is noted in my retrogrouchitorial above, but, yes, LinkGlide has its own cable pull ratio. That’s to create inter-compatibility between 10-Speed Deore M5130 and 11-Speed XT M8130. (I know current 10/11 is inter compatible - I run multiple examples on my family’s bikes - but not on the same performance level).
I know there’s an XKCD joke here about new standards just adding standards, but if you’re interested I’m currently working on another piece explaining that decision which should be up here next week.
