Understood, but different customers might pull in different directions even for the base model. As an example I do not care what steel it is made of as long as it rides fine. (Maybe chromoly does not increase costs, or bushings - I have no idea.) A wider triangle would increase folded size and already now Brompton only tightly fits into airline limits for oversize luggage. You mentioned quick release brakes and sure they might be convenient, but as a make it or break it issue I would not give it a blink of an eye, etc.
Is it that I want no nothing? Not true. I would like a wider gear range without compromising size. You might say that to solve the gear range I should start with Bike Friday. However, it is so much easier to add gear range to Brompton than to make a Brompton out of Bike Friday when tying to remove its limitations. It goes back to Brompton.
