It depends on how hard bike companies want to push it. If a bike has anything integrated with a battery (Di2, AXS, whatever) then I'd imagine that it'll just become normalised, like hydraulic brakes have been (or, for that matter disc brakes!).

Friendly reminder from a jaded bicycle mechanic - it's more often than not a bent hanger (or bent jockey wheel cage), not a limit screw issue.
The limits don't tend to work their way out of 'set' (unless you ride really hard or are very unlucky).
Good shifting, regular maintenance and checking your drive train goes a long way to avoiding mishaps like this! Thankfully our lord and saviour Calvin at Park Tools can help teach how to trouble shoot little niggles to avoid them becoming problems like OPs! It also means you'll get to feel when shifting is a bit suspect (ghost shifts, chain skipping etc.) and you can pick up on them earlier.
Thankfully it's not rocket surgery!
There's plenty of privacy respecting non-proton options that don't involve trying to set up your own mail server.
They're not wusses, they were just biding their time to unveil their true selves.
Wasn't Rosebank deemed unlawful? Or am I misremembering?
Although that doesn't mean much these days I suppose.
You say that but if it's lighter, and sold as the next big thing you'd be surprised what people would buy. Regrettably the freds of the world will eat up what cycling marketers put down for them.
I can picture it now; no hydraulic lag - brake by wire! No air bubbles, no more DOT fluid! Shave grams off your bike! Tune it with a proprietary app!
They might think he's a shitbag, but I bet they're not unhappy with him. Unless he threatens to cut their spending?
Thiel, Yarvin etc., are all so convinced of their own superiority that any actual challenge to their world view/tactics is completely unexpected. They can only comprehend doing violence to people who won't do anything about it. They get their rocks off over child murderers, and state sanctioned violence, but cry when the people they want to step on show and ounce of spine. It's pathetic.
But it's foss, and really good for hiking and biking (ie where id actually be likely to get lost!) so it balances out.
I remember seeing a study (years ago) that basically showed that unless wind was directly behind a rider (like, maybe ±15° off side or something) then it caused resistance and made it harder to ride.
I wish I could find it again!
Organic maps is amazing - especially for offline mapping.
I wish the driving instructions were better but you can't have everything I suppose!
The majority of the wealth in creative industries isn't in the hands of the creative workers anyway - it's not a big change in that respect.
The 'creative' employers will just pivot to churning out content and using underpaid staff to make them workable.
