I understand the point you're trying to make, but this just does not pan out in my real world experience.
There is a lot more nuance to what is going on with the rear wheel than "low POE is always going to require more thought for that kind of riding".
Also, I'm having trouble wrapping my head around the statement: "Being able to just stand up and stomp any time, without your foot potentially free-falling for a few centimeters, is just so powerful, and makes everyone better!"
On pretty much every trail I enjoy, if you stand up and stomp _any old time,_ you will die.
I take it you mean "while climbing", but this is certainly not "any time".
