And most sports skip their world championship in Olympic years to avoid any confusion. Track/athletics does this and soccer/football doesn't have the World Cup then.

Not trying to short sell the role of the backup bot at all. I might not have been clear enough about that. But the point I was trying to make is as long as all teams can theoretically compete at both championships, I believe they maintain the integrity of being called a world championship.
