Weight and cost certainly isn’t a strong argument for 1X.
I would agree, I have a 1X10 on my gravel bike so can run regularly priced cassettes (38 x 11-34). Its set up as 1X with a bar end shifter running TPR hylex hydro brakes as a cheaper way to have drop bar hydro brakes (as TPR don't do a brifter) vs Shimano SRAM Campag hydro gravel offerings.
it could of course easily be run as 2X10 with a LH bar end shifter too....
.....drifting OT given the "MTB" in the title
