That’s exactly what it’s evolving back into, except the core section is also
designed to produce significant useful thrust at higher speeds/altitudes. It’s
turboprop efficient at the altitudes and speeds where turboprops are efficient,
with the high altitude/speed performance of a jet.
Passenger perception is also a huge driver though.
I’m just waiting for the variable pitch, constant-speed geared turbofan.

Is it just me, or is this the commercial airliner turbofan evolving back
toward the old reduction-gear driven turboprop? Seems like a halfway-point,
this does. Only they'll never remove the fan shroud, because then it
wouldn't be a "jet" and people might notice that, even aside from Concorde,
airliners are cruising slower than the planes our parents flew in.

So cool, so expensive. Almost anything turbo seems to fit that description
