I personally don't give a *** about the results so far. Once the real season starts, I might care a little bit but not enough to stop me Tarantella dancing around Italy in May. This dance is said to cure tarantula bites which is what these little UAE victories are.

I think your opinion is shared by millions, kind of a romantic throwback, when guys had an off season, early races, were insignificant and guys sort of raced into shape, early stuff was seen as less serious.
UAE is not taking your line, the opposite, every race is an opportunity, every race is serious, every race team will be prepared and ready to win or contest the race seriously.
The level of professionalism and preparedness UAE shows is obviously different than most teams, no phoning it in, never lackluster or lazy.
Articles, interviews with riders, directors about races being faster throughout, no real warm up, never calm, full gas from the start, no easy anything, ect.
Racing has changed, it is changing, the season is long.
Maybe race organizations need to have " NS" as part of race announcement designating their race as Not Serious and maybe UAE will get the memo not to show up trying to win.
I absolutely love watching UAE destroy everyone no matter the race guys like Vine, Del Toro, Amedia, Brandon McNulty all showing up ready, hungry, prepared.

Still can remember Jan Ullrich and others carrying extra kilos and setting up spring schedule to race themselves into shape for later races. Everyone sort of acknowledged that coming in overweight, out of shape was how it was done.
