Universal bike carrier figment
I think this is something which only exists in your imagination.

is it worthy of this thread
No

My quad-motor dragster turned out pretty well, but over the short distance available on a wet Sunday my nephews light weight dual-motor version took advantage of shorter gearing to set lower ETs. Another couple of yards and my higher top end would have been in play.

it's going to work out cheaper and more versatile by far in the long run
Clearly the kind of consumers buying Di2/eTap are not interested in cheaper, more versatile, or the long run.

The advantage to my eyes is that you could do 8-speed electronic
Who would want to? The kind of retrogrouches who want 8-speed are the same ones who still want their mechanical gear shifters (non-indexed, obvs.) on the down tube. I'm guessing well over half the people buying bikes with electric gears wouldn't even be able to change their own chain, so the nuances of backwards compatibility are unlikely to be their highest priority. Most of them are not weirdos like us, they are cycling enthusiasts rather than bike enthusiasts - the machine is a means, not an end, something for other people to fix and to be replaced frequently.

I'm a little cynical
Probably not as cynical as I am, I was just proposing a mechanism whereby integrating the rings with the PM was not necessarily wasteful. The truth is that SRAM are about profit maximisation, like any company should be. If they were a "green" NGO, they'd be telling people to stop wasting their money on power meters and and other racing parts, 99% of which are used just for bicycle cosplay.

Both your answers are why I'm getting stuck
If you'd given the details in the first place, you wouldn't be stuck. I'm with hugo, insurance is your benefit because it indemnifies you from costs which you would otherwise normally pay, i.e. healthcare for your dependants.

you would normally expect it to appear on your P11D
Why would it appear on his P11D if somebody else is receiving the benefit?
