I was in Tweeks Cycles yesterday and noticed that rear cassettes on new MTB's are massive with small chainrings on the front ๐Ÿ˜ฏ so why the change in chainring & cassette size's other than making climbing easier.

2 x 10 with larger cassette and smaller rings to get the same range of gears?

The average mountain biker is getting older and lardier and 'effort' is out of fashion these days.

24+36+48 12-28 is where it's at.
