They weren't putting Zipp 404's on them. That's principally the disconnect. You save 10's of watts by spending $2500 on deep sectioned wheels,a nd then give back hundreds of watts with the bars.
that simply makes zero sense. People want to throw away their money like that, they're free to do so. I'm free to point out the gross inconsistency.
