This isn't the position of all RotMs, certainly, or of the entirety of any group.
Sorry, I've never been the queen of tact, in terms of how I phrase things. I didn't mean to imply that ALL "RotM" teams feel a certain way; frankly, I was not so concerned about whether all (or even a majority) of RotM teams like or don't like the new proposal, because regardless of whether they like it or not, I think my proposal solves most of the problems that have been raised by "elite" and "RotM" teams alike - getting to either championship would be more competitive (there would be fewer waitlist positions available, since some teams would be going to both events); ALL teams at a championship (elite and RotM alike) would get to hang with and compete with (and against) more of the top teams, and see them compete against each other. I don't understand what argument you are saying my solution doesn't address - you mention "qualifying for that top tier event" but I thought I'd addressed that.
