It makes no difference if it's firing the wrong phase because it can't read the position vs firing the wrong phase due to not trying to read the position. It's still firing the wrong phase.

But probably it is also the unknown, all drivers know there is a lot to gain with the sensors, legally and illegal. That knowledge or advantage is for sure gone with sensorless.
Most racers will see it has a sensored wire and observes it doesn't cog, so they won't care if it's running in a hybrid mode. Advancing the sensors is largely irrelevant anyway with the RPM limiters that they're introducing to the ESCs in those control classes. Trying to implement an analyser startup phase for calibration will be harder for the ESC manufacturers than just using the existing hybrid mode for no benefit.
