Sram never had 9 speed road parts, 9 speed mountain parts were 30 years ago. They're still making available their 11 speed, cable shifted road and mountain parts now.

I dont even know what you're arguing about, unless you're looking for Sram to offer parts in a market like shimano 8/9 speed for cheap hybrid bikes when they've never done that.
