Ha, yeah, I saw that last night……amazing invention! Next they’ll be put suspension on the rear!!!! And increasing the amount of travel…..and creating different disciplines……and as for the geometry, they’ll need to slacken that head angle with that amount of travel up front 
It’s so funny seeing this panning out in the gravel world, I remember running 1.85” tyre on my MTB back in the 90’s…..gravel bikes take even wider rubber

Wow. If only we had had that back in very early 90s. Suprised someone like pace didn't come up with that! How could we have missed that one!
That bloody pogo stick he's on even looks like a late 80s stumpie
.
There's a man who needs a lockout switch!
And as for wider tyres on gravel bikes....well don't even get me started.....its a old mountain bike with drop bars.....just live with it....yes, you have just blown £3000 on a bike you could have had for £300, but its important to reinvent stuff that already exists with added marketing BS to cover the gaps.

I'm not a fan of pointless innovations to drive marketing/sales, but i do like the way some components have been refined. Some people, me included, want a bike that can be ridden fast across a mixture of surfaces over long distances. Things like the Vecnum stem help. 100g of extra weight for 30mm of very plush, tunable travel.
That said, I've given up private mechanic work because I am so sick of the constantly evolving set of "standards" for bbs, headsets, proprietary seatpost shapes etc... and don't even get me started on idiotic internal cabling routed through bar, stem and headset.
