No doubt that's indeed an elegant bike trailer in the preview photo, but why add conflict with bikepacking? Why not appreciate that both have their place in this world? The pursuit of one does not take away from the other. It's not even in tension anyway: this is arguably just a form of larger bikepacking.
The quality of editors writing headlines these days, it leaves much to be desired.
