I think the only reason Rivendell has not leaned into Microshift before is because 1. Grant has a long history of liking Shimano stuff and has not had a huge problem finding some really good cheap ones from what they offer and 2. Microshift (I think) are made in China and Rivendell at one point had a "nothing made in China" stance to what they sold but I think that loosened when that became the only source for certain products.
