That’s fair, and in terms of electronic groups obviously SRAM in leading there. What I’ve seen is that SRAM is typically first, then Shimano follows suit (admittedly sometimes very late) but with better ergonomics and performance. Allow room for personal preference as it’s clear the forum here typically trends to SRAM v. Shimano. Enough of my opinion, it’s a good time to be a MTB if you can find parts. You have entry level group sets (Looking at Deore) that eclipse the performance of the high end groups from just a few years ago.
