Reverse rolling backpack?
This makes so much sense to me and I never saw a rolling backpack doing this: if the backpack is rectilinear and opens up like a suitcase then there's not really a big difference between front and back so why not put backpack straps on one side and rolling equipment on the other? It would take make a much, much more comfortable rolling backpack.

It seems the weight of the hardware (wheels, handle, etc) being spaced so far away from the back would create a torque/moment (force multiplied by distance from pivot point) and make the bag carry/feel heavier than it is (your back is constantly compensating/fighting the torque/moment). Also, it makes it harder to have smaller front accessory pockets since they'd have to fit in/around the handle.

To necro this: I bought an Eagle Creek Morphus International last year. youtu.be/oaRyVuLuWOw?t=145 again just watch twenty seconds. It was a textbook case of "shut up and take my money" moment for me.
(This year, since I haven't travelled for over a year now (guess why) I have repurposed the travel budget into a bag budget and could afford the Beruf 2x3way. But that's a different topic. However, now my bag flexibility is through the roof.)
