the position referenced in the OP, more forward, is being chosen by tri pro's for comfort and run performance off the bike.

Ganna: I trust Ronan and he said he couldn't find out what crank length Ganna was using (despite other news outlets publishing 170mm) on the adjustable Wattshop crank that has available adjustment between 160m and 175mm. Looking at the many close up photos, Ganna has his pedal very far forward suggesting longer than 170mm:

As for UCI TT folks, Remco rides on the nose with his center of mass far ahead of the bb similar to rudy and magness and other tri pro's. Good article here looking how he increased pad stack/y (something I’ve been doing a lot of in recent fits to allow for more of a shrug and to close the hand-head gap, and increase off the bike run performance), and has his saddle slammed forward (see OP re: center of mass): https://velo.outsideonline.com/...hing-the-algarve-tt/

And this video confirms 170mm crank length (he’s 5’ 7” tall):
