Why would they go to the expense and suffer a weight penalty by making a triple enduro/mx?

Back in the day, triumph scramblers were often twins. Not small ones either.

Wondering if they are going to try and push through a electric dual sport.

Bet it ends up being a badge engineered Bajaj (their India partner) or at least the engine from one.
