Why dont some BJJ fighters have TDs?

Sportization of BJJ. Almost every martial arts have joint lock and takedown techniques, some schools retained those techniques, most abandoned them because of sportization. Once BJJ has a slot in the Olympics, it's going to get sterilized even more.
This is a pretty valid point -- EBI and other stuff is fun to watch, but God damn some of the techniques you see in those are optimised strictly for the ruleset and would get your face turned into minced meat if tried in MMA context.
