I’m actually arguing for tall stem mountain bikes (yes there are many of those). I am also in favor of the European ones and would use the same arguments, thanks for the reminder. Stem being the part where your hands go (which I didn’t know 5 minutes ago).
You are arguing for what Wikipedia calls a “European city bike”. Mountain bikes are quite different and, in particular, you don’t ride them upright.
