You're failing to see the point. The companies can make whatever the hell they want and then if anyone queries it they will 'make them available to the public' for some silly price and rules (kind of) remain adhered to.
They've always had custom bikes for the classics - bigger clearances, different suspension tricks and non-replaceable derailler hangers and stuff like that.

No Surrey MAMIL can bend that much with exception of DJ.
I can understand if its super special case like Wiggins' hour record.
