I'd imagine stiffness isn't an issue though ? If anyone is going to flex a crank/bb it's going to be Hoy, Bauge, Sireau etc and they're still using traditional bottom brackets and cranks.
Maybe there's less friction on a traditional cup and cone bb ? I'm sure there's a reason, and trackies aren't just being luddites. Look at all the money BC puts into the secret squirrel stuff
