If wheellocks don't have a significant downside for the wealthy all that is necessary for their continued presence is for it to be plausible for them to have grown attached to them given the right circumstances.

Where did faster ignition come in? There's no increase in ignition speed until you get to percussion caps.
I do think wheel-locks have significant disadvantages and it is not at all plausible that they would remain in production for long after flintlocks became available,
Note that if I was a player in this game I might not argue with you more than once about it not making sense but I'd never believe it was true.
