Yeah, I agree.
I think the pursuit look became popular because of a "the more track-specific, the better" attitude. Plus it was a bit different, for sure. But folks could never actually ride the streets in the bullhorns* with the geometry of the bike. So risers were added and it became a funny bike. Not really good for anything.
*Pursuit bikes are built to be used with bullhorns or bullhorns + aero bars.
