Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

Variable cable pull is easy to imagine in theory, but not so easy in practice. The cable winds onto a drum, so all that's necessary is to change the drum diameter, according to the desired cable travel. this is far easier than trying to vary the click spacing. OTOH, when you look at it, varying the drum diameter isn't all that simple in practice, though it could probably be designed to be so.
