The one missing thing that Zwift could do that would be unique to Zwift… a group ride / group workout hybrid where you have a beacon lead (group leader) and as long as people peddle like in the group workouts they stay together. With effort target changes like they do in group workouts based on the individual riders FTP level that track the leaders. So not a race and not like a current group ride but a free form workout with individual targets like in group workout based on what the leader is doing…A live workout if you will. Could be used with skilled leaders or pros riders leading groups but no one is dropped as longs as they peddle. There could be “stars” or whatever to show they followed the leader in effort changes. Add a way to let the leader let the riders loose of the beacon for a final after party or sprit or whatever and you have something only Zwift could do at this point and not able to be replicated in the real world…
