The Trek prices are actually quite reasonable. I was looking at Transition's pricing, and my eyes bulged out of my skull to see their cheapest models with Transmission, which for current model year, is over $11k (for the spire). At $9k (the Trek Fuel EX price), I could justify buying that during the EOY sales. At $11k, I'd simultaneously be buying a divorce.
Regarding Rocky Mountain- I think they have to be coming out with Transmission equipped bikes for MY '24. They moved all of their bike model names to have "Shimano" in the name, implying they need to distinguish between Shimano and non-Shimano builds, and their newest model, the Blizzard eMTB, comes with NX.
