With cassettes getting bigger you can easily do 1:1 with a 34 small ring but I prefer having a smaller ring in the front and closer ratios in the back.
Can’t wait to see what shimano will have to offer. Makes sense they are the ones to do it. Sram is all invested in 1x and campy is more into racing stuff and I dont think pros will be going sub compact for a while

I like what you mentioned about SRAM being 1x and Campy being racer oriented, but I have to add Shimano is feeling more responsive to the industry and retail trends. If that is a good or bad thing, I do not know, but I think it is at least a sensible business decision.
A non-mountain rear derailleur with a clutch that supports a front mech and this sub compact crank rumor are nice additions to the market.
