Yes, but again, it's the way UEFA is implementing it. I suspect it has more to do with scheduling than anything else.
Edit: what I am saying is that SI are implementing it correctly, as per the way that UEFA will actually do it.
I am not sure of that, I think that was the first proposal approved in 2021, but they approved the swiss system in 2022.
We can guess that SI has investigated and talked with UEFA before implementing this (taking into account this year's collaboration with UEFA), but I understood that it was going to be a pure swiss system. And I hope it is, it would be better.
