I think you are also reflecting my point in that not all carbon shoes are created equally & most owner's are in the wrong shoe. I'd say most companies produce/ tune the shoes as per there top tier athletes, they know who's likely to place high, so that's all they worry about. They know this will help sell to the parkrun masses.
Disclosure I have/ had 2 carbon & 1 nylon plated pairs. All of my pb have been in them from 1mile to the half. These were done on my own during lockdown when I got super keen.
My only other questions are if they are cheating, who is being cheated & if running is no longer 'pure' what sport is?
