They choose an high end race road crankset (which is almost the only high end component on this expensive high end bike) with the chainline of a race road bike but indeed they should have adapted the frame.

Now, the rest of the transmission isn't adapted to the small wheel size too.

The 11-28 cassette with the 52-36 chainring provide a too short gear inch. They should have mounted a 9-32 cassette like R&M does (or at least a 10-something cassette).

I haven't experienced the chain problem you mentioned because I immediately changed my wheels and have a rear wheel with a Hope RS4 hub with XDR freewheel and a 9-32 cassette and never need the very short 36 front - 32 rear combination.
