Actually my first post on the subject of BBs was correct, and you're splitting hairs by finding some trims one step below S-Works still having PF, but my point is that those higher trims are specced for racing and not great for average cyclists, especially not those riding in hilly areas. There's a practical limit to how large a cassette you'd want to run to compensate for chainrings that are too large, while how much $$$ do DA or SRAM AXS chainrings cost again?

I find it silly to buy the more expensive trim only to spend even more to ride it as comfortably as the less expensive options. Shows that someone has more money than bike sense.
