I think they are just acting in doubt cause they'd like some help chasing the breakaway. I'd also try to put 1 or 2 spoilers in the break depending on size.
Cav didn't sound convinced at all yesterday (https://www.flobikes.com/collections/7078093-2021-tour-de-france-interviews?playing=7108074)
"I don't know [if there will be a sprint tomorrow]. If there is, I'll try... but it's 205 kilometers. It's been a hard week, you know. I'd like for my boys to sit in the peloton. They deserve it."
But this was right after the stage, not in a good state. Things may have changed over night of course
Break or sprint, don't know. But if I had a sprinter, i would Quickstep do all the work. Because Cavendish will win again when it's a sprint. Maybe Asgreen gets soms freedom today?
yesterday morning he said that his next goal would be the time trial. But well, yeah, there's probably a better chance to win from the break today than in the ITT tomorrow
UAE will probably do nothing at all to control the tempo or monitor who goes in the break unless a top 5 guy slips in there with a few teammates but even then the onus is not on them to chase with a near 6 minute lead.
DQS will have to work hard to keep things close or I can see a big break contesting the stage.

He’s downplayed it pretty much the whole Tour. I’d be very surprised if they just let the stage go without trying.
They aren't a team that hands out gifts, and there's no reason to preserve strength today for most of their team, but if a really good break gets away and they have to ride alone all day?
I think they'll definitely try if it's doable, but it could be too difficult regardless of what they want.
As was discussed in previous posts, they should be sticking someone in the break to sit on/disrupt.
If I were running DQS and had an eye on press coverage and exciting the sponsors, I’d want Cavendish going for the record on the last day in Paris.
Let the team relax today and go for broke on Sunday.
Dunno if these things come into play tho’

What? That's nonsense.
DQS are werewolves, everybody knows that:

Happy Hautacam day to all the Danes on the forum!
Thank you. A shame it's not on today's menu though, but I guess they have their reasons for not wanting to celebrate the jubilee
No Woods and Lopez today. Bit of a shame for Woods in particular as he was up there in the KOM standings so imagine there's some prize money for that (not least velogames points)
Lefevre before every stage has to tell Cav that We're werewolves, not swearwolves.
