Electric shifting is the most useless thing on derailleur bikes. The only sensible use case I’ve heard of is the electric motor gearbox where when you press the shifter it delays until the next mechanically optimal moment so you don’t grind gears or whatever would be happening in there.
if it existed, it could be beneficial if it worked the same way as the electric mid gearbox for the same reasons since it’s roughly the same thing in a different spot. It feels like if you go that far it might as well be a motor since some types of motor can be rotational position aware for firmware use which I’m pretty sure is how it works on the pinion electric gearbox.

Why only derailleur bikes? Doesn’t seem any better with an internal hub either.
It can make more sense on an ebike though!
