Shimano has made tons of low end crap and will continue to make low end crap. Yes nothing is going change on that front. If you really think things are changing they aren't Yes CUES is a great thing but it won't stop the bottom end from still coming out. Yes Microshift is growing because Shimano took it hard during the pandemic as they had factories shut down completely as well as some at 60% capacity or lower. They are still recovering from that like the entire industry is doing.
