I can see that.
When your hands are numb from cobbles, don’t want to accidentally shift down on your front derailleur, and then have a chain drop when you’re trying to shift back up on a critical section.
I think they still favour double chainsets, not because they use the smaller ring, just so that the chain can drop onto it rather than off the chainset entirely.

Sagan said di2 was too easy to shift accidentally.
Mechanical takes a more deliberate action but di2 can switch just by touching the lever.
