Also Pro's use fairly regular components for reliability and sponsorship reasons. So they are not weight weenie builds.
Here is an off the shelf Trek that is under the UCI limit...

The top spec Tarmac SL 7 is about the same weight too although Specialized (annoyingly) doesn’t publish their bike weights.

And I would say that most pro bikes absolutely qualify as weight weenie builds within the parameters set by the UCI…
