Again its about choices. I have 46-11 on my bike and after a few rides I barelly even went to it (I don’t race and dont ride in fast pacelines so ymmv). And a 10t is teeny so inneficient and will have a short life
10 teeth may be more inefficient than 11 but for the short life I believe most riders will spend a fraction of the time in their biggest gear versus the middle of the cassette. At least I know that is true of my riding, even though in my case that gear is 53x12.
