And to be honest, a friction shifter would probably still be more reliable than an indexed derailleur. It's too bad this "old tech" gets pushed away for newer, more complex stuff :(
I think the issue with friction shifters was that you can miss or end up between gears, but with eleven speeds and almost no space between them, you have a good point.
Yes, friction shifting is often by feel. That's a pro and a con, depending on who you ask 😂
