It has but we are talking about touring, not racing. Once you start putting panniers it is game over as far as speed is concerned anyway.

This is a reason why there is kind of 2 worlds in term of bicycle touring / bikepacking. Those that ride very light and focus on efficiency with very light hardware, one set of clothes/change, a bivy and a tarp but no capability to cook and would have meals and dinner on the parking of a supermarket or in a café. And those that truly set camp and will carry a lot more stuff and possibly walk the bike for a bit or grind very slowly when they encounter a very steep climb.
