Great points and a topic often misunderstood. Do you see a trend in the off season window narrowing, especially in pro cycling now with Gravel, Zwift races etc?
In general I think pro cyclist are good for taking a proper off-season. I have seen them with my own eyes, I know some World Tour riders and they do take a proper off-season season. I am always much more concerned with amateurs and elite age groupers who typically as you well said prefer to stick to Zwift racing and grip riding instead of either doing low intensity non-specific sports to their main discipline in the off season or simply taking weeks/months off.
