Talk with someone like Rob English.
Seat stays are in place because the UCI dictates what makes a bike frame.
Fixing carbon is easy. Roadies are failing to learn things that mountain bikers learned years ago.
Road bikes design is dictated by the UCI and racing rules - which is the reason why the whole "aero" bike thing is a joke. Lipstick on a pig.
I haven't laughed this hard in months.
You do you buddy LMAO! Knock one of your seatstays out with a hammer, then do a descent. Report back afterwards and share your results. I have no doubt certain dirtbag 13 year old mountain bikers have fixed their frames with Gorilla Glue and cling wrap. The difference is that I'm a real adult with a real job. This is pocket change hobby money. My life is worth more than trash. Are we bums here?
By the way I get email alerts to message replies, so I'm able to see what you wrote originally before you edited your post, which is even more hilarious.
Quoting you:

LOL! Yes, seatstays exist because UCI dictates it. It has nothing to do with the fact that the seatstays are the compression member in a triangular truss without which the truss wouldn't exist. You're absolutely right lmao...
