If I had to guess, moving the pivot above and ahead the rear axle a la faux bar would raise the anti-rise. Maybe the team has gotten used to the high anti-rise on the old Supreme so they're looking for a similar feeling on the new bike?

Nope, not so simple. Been there, made that mistake. In Commencal's case it doesn't change THAT much. If this (changing the location of the pivot near the rear axle) happened on an Atherton bike for example, it would make it a linkage driven 4-bar. On the Polygon it would make it a 6-bar. The Supreme is still a 6-bar layout, regardless of the variant we're looking at. It will likely change what the antisquat and antirise are doing, even more so probably for the antirise (as the brake is mounted to a whole different link), but yeah, still a 6-bar.

I noticed the Commencal team on a different swing arm than the V5 that was just released. Bottom photo is stock frame.

I don't think it's that people don't believe you (it's obvious that the image has been AI-modified), I think it's just that they think you're trolling. I mean, between the X-Files arrows, the colorful language, and the creative punctuation, it's kinda hard to not get that idea.
