That's categorically not true. Vast majority of high end bikes are sold to people who are either not going to race them, or do race them in events not subject to UCI rules.
Tons of Cat 2,3,4,and 5's race bikes below the UCI weight limit.
And a number of bikes, including the EVO, are sold that weigh below the weight limit.
Bike manufacturers continue to make lighter and lighter bikes because people will buy them.
