However, the team is racing In Reality, and wants to win In Reality ... and if you had bothered to learn about the topic, you would have learned that what I am saying is what is actually happening In Reality.

Yes, we can all imagine any sorts of scenarios. But if we are going to be discussing Cycling Fiction, that is a different page I think.
It's your premise that they switched to rim brakes to allow teammates to swap wheels. My point is that they could achieve the same goal just by switching to a different type of thru axle.
