I'll agree with you that 2x hearkens back to the days of 10 speed bikes and is generally inferior.
However, 1x is magical in its own way. Simplicity is a big part of it. One derailleur. Upshift or down. No thinking required. Fewer parts. Narrow-wide chainrings are also a great idea but only work in 1x systems.
