They will sell a bunch of those even if they don't mean to.

This is great news!!!! I am currently running a 9 speed 1x 11-40 non clutched set up and it is pretty good for 90% of the climbs I do. I have dropped a few chains but only in really rough stuff when I am not pedalling. The 42 will make it that bit nicer. I really don't notice the extra gears on my Hart Tail running 1x11.

I used Microshift thumb shifters in 8 speed years ago and they worked very well.
I was just in the garage looking at my "rain bike". The chain is really worn and the rest of the drivetrain is pretty messed up. It's also a has 3x at the front. I actually only need a 1x as this would be a commuter for wet days. So I was considering options to upgrade the groupset ( this would also be a good learning experience/challenge for me as I normally pay people to fix me bike). If I bought this groupset above would there be any traps or "gotchas" ie issues with bottom bracket incompatible or anything else? Bike is a Steel Jamis Dragon Comp running 9 speed running Deore XT

This microshift stuff is new to me, but I didn't realise they had so many products. Is there like a quick wiki page or something to get the low down on what works with what and stuff?

Yeah I saw that, but there seems to be old microshift 9 speed and the new stuff - does it play well?

Those figures are the cable pull stroke, not ratio! Significant difference!!

That’s probably what I meant...
