Bike shops definitely err very much on the side of caution these days. But when your reputation is on the line if a rim snaps and there's a distinct possibility of legal action if someone is hurt in our increasingly elf 'n' safety obsessed litigious culture who can blame them?
I'd say this is more about that and how quickly you can wear through rims in the right conditions than it is anything to do with archetypes.
