Is that a comment on the cost of outfitting multiple bikes with Di2, or the reliability/ maintenance issues of Di2 for the home bike not maintained by a Team Mechanic everyday?
Shimano Di2/Campy EPS are groups that are more reliable than anything else out there today. Adjust once, never touch it again. That's how electronics work.
It's likely the cost factor.
