I'd swap Strava for disk brakes. If anything, Strava has been a detriment to cycling by turning a lot of its users into selfish assholes. Quick releases should be on here somewhere as well.
I agree - I'd even go as far as to remove other stuff like "power meters", "e-bikes" and "smart indoor training" for stuff that has actually improved the act of cycling since its beginning - like, among those you mentioned, alu tubing, tubeless/TPU, sealed cartridges or indexed shifting. I dunno, maybe even belt drivetrains could be in this list somewhere in the future given they can fix their drawbacks.
Also, the list is a bit roadie-centric. Add suspension, dropper posts and subtract "smart" indoor training, and Strava.
