Proprietary Trek Garbage is the worst followed by all the other proprietary garbage out there. A handlebar and a dropouts are not a place you need mess around and try and create something new just stick with a standard clamp and diameter and either QR or Thru-axle in the standard sizes we have had for a while. If you want to make improvements make improvements but don't push proprietary crap-o-la on people who might not know any better.
Yes my Axle's are also proprietary "Thru Skew" which is a 5mm Thru Axle.
