Which of the big brands has a top tier 2021 rim brake option? Giant, Bianchi and Pinarello... slim pickings indeed (and those last two are a bit boutique to be considered big anyway)

Giant TCR with rims is what I'd buy. Maybe a last gen supersix, sworks sl6 or some other outgoing rim braked model.
Enjoy a under 7kg bike without fuss.
Disc brakes are
