Good Lord! $350 for an 11 speed cassette!

The 9 speed cassette drops non-linearly to $40.

cassettes.

I think triples are swell for street riding in hilly areas, but I imagine a
wide-range-rear single-front-ring setup is the bee's knees for dirt racers
and people who ride like them. Which is the market a stupid-expensive XTR
part is aimed at. They'll sell a ton of them.
On Wednesday, October
Fat bikes are also pushing for single chain rings due to tire clearance
issues. Few fat bikes ship with triples because they'd require a very wide
crank to clear the fat rear tire. Surly's MWOD is an offset double
(basically uses the two outer rings of a triple) to ameliorate clerance
problems.
The cog progression on the 11-40 is actually not bad, though of course
it assumes a very small (~32 tooth) ring and though the gearing is
clearly meant for singletrack. But the same principle applies to other
terrain and other types of riding. I myself like the single ring setup
for all my riding,
