Prove it then.
If the TT bike is the problem everywhere, give it a go.
Yes, on a survey a meaningful amount would say “don’t want to buy one”. But I’d bet an equal or greater would either say “didn’t know I could” or “too pretentious”.
I think both of us suffer a lack of data.
One data point irrefutable is that road racing is less popular per capita in the US, participant or spectator.
We’re both left with largely feelings and anectdotes, so grand soapbox to stand on claiming false equivalencies and slipery slope.
My bottom line is that for the US the culture of RR is to blame. Not the geometry of the bike.
