why have the zero drops mostly gone away? When I see Brooks now, they have the same stupid ultra-cushion/clunky non-minimalist design. What gives?

Drop =/= Cushion

There are 0 drop shoes with >30mm stack, there are 0 drop shoes with < 5mm stack.

Drop is also dynamic. Depending on the runner, an 8mm drop shoe can run like a 0mm drop shoe.

There is no definitive rule as to what is better regarding drop and stack. Best thing anyone can do is find what you’re able to run in with no pain/injury. If you can rotate between all the different types, then that’s good too.

I'm not only talking about running. But when I see those Hoka shoes, it just looks like it can't possibly be good for your health.
