I don't think the criteria was meant to be gamed such that a super senior that never had technical content necessary to put him in medal contention could discourage the rise of a Jr. Skater (ie a skater that have a whole senior career after Nathan) who has the physical capacity to do competitive content.He chose to skate in juniors and all of the limitations and disadvantages of skating in juniors, when it came to the Olympic selection criteria.
No, they don't. If they did, then they would have treated him like Vincent in 2018 and "built for the future".But they do believe in Ilia because they are sending him to Worlds, so they are telling the world that they believe in him
