I don't know where you live but you can stop playing the "people don't ride bikes in the US so they don't know anything about bicycles" card. The products "forced on us by the Bicycle industry" are what sells. IGH doesn't. I work in a bicycle co-op on Saturdays all year around and the number of IGH bikes that aren't 3 speeds we see per year can be counted on one hand. The number of IGH bikes I see on the road per year...150 to 200 days of riding...can be counted on the same hand.
Finally, you are talking to an audience that rides more then the average US citizen. We
might just know something about bicycles and bicycle components. We done our homework as well and come to a different conclusion than you.
