For those who fondly recall 13~17 freewheels, there's a new
10~50 cassette!

How does the weight of that 10-50 cassette compare to a three allow chainrings and a 7-speed or 8-speed steel cassette of 14-32?

Weight isn't the reason to come up with this kind of stuff. Get rid of the FD is.

Because it's SO difficult to move another lever?

No, to shift both levers at the same time. Another solution for that problem is synchronized shifting with Di2 system.

I wonder if there's a discussion group where the two sides a

"You MUST have multiple chainrings because you MUST have the ability to
micro-adjust your cadence!"

vs.

"Being within 15% of the ideal gear is fine! You MUST be free of
shifting another derailleur!"

I'd be happy to just watch from the sidelines.

Why choose? You can have multiple bicycles for different kind of rides. You mist that concept. In the Netherlands a triple or a double chainrings is a ridiculous choice being flat as a pancake. A 1*X is the best choice for utility riding. Simplicity and a close ratio cassette.
