Yeah, I get what you're saying, I just think lots of people see pro peloton and think "yep that's for me" when they would be much more comfortable, enjoy riding something that was a little less frisky, took bigger tyres to explore a little rougher stuff or ride a little longer with less arse pain or back pain yada yada. It's not like if you have the legs, riding a sportive/gravel/touring bike will suddenly make you terribly slow.

You've ridden an order of magnitude more Ks than me so I will defer to your expertise.
My tiny brain logic says: mostly road riding = ride a bike closer to a road bike
