Not that I'm defending new bicycle related "inventions". I still cringe when I see people riding mountain bikes with a single chainring and a sprocket bigger than a frying pan with less gear range than a 15 year old 3x9 bike.
Do you mean 135mm QR MTB spacing? That has more to do with disc brakes than hub geometry since almost every hub now has interchangeable endcaps to switch between standards
