Yes. But with the greatest respect you live in California. I suspect you’ve never dealt with the frustration of your cable operated dropper being stuck down because you’re riding in filthy sub zero conditions and the cable has frozen. Come to Scotland, ride a winter season and you may not be quite so convinced that they work so so so so so well. From my perspective the hydraulic system is way better than cables operated. Completely fit and forget and no need to deal with stretching of freezing cables.
