@dual_sport_dork I think something similar happens any time people hyper-focus on a single attribute of their gear. The brightest headlamp is as unlikely to be a community favorite as the lightest because maximizing any one attribute has costs to others.

It’s just an odd quirk that a community sprang up around minimizing weight as its core principle. “I want a good X that’s lightweight” makes more sense to me than “I want a lightweight X that’s good”.
