What if the Eagles are purposely preventing the possibility of a QB controversy?

Alright before I even get to my thought just know that ,yes I understand this could seem sort of "conspiracy-ish" and forgive me if this notion has been written elsewhere. While I'm not one to really cater to conspiracies, this is a thought that has been with me for the last few weeks. My inability to shake it has led me here.

Whenever the Eagles run the Hurts package, what's the one thing that never happens?

Wentz leaving the field.

It's gotten to the point it's visibly forced. One can't help but feel this is the Eagle catering to Wentz on an emotional level. Never giving him the feeling he isn't in control of the team. Almost trying to over reassure him. Not taking Wentz off the field when Hurts comes in, signifies that this is "just" a gadget play and Wentz is still in control.

Never giving Hurts a chance to fully run the offense ,even on package plays, also veils the world from seeing what he could potentially do without being handicapped a WR. Thus preventing any real possibility of a true quarterback controversy. It's hard to come up with another explanation as to why Wentz never leaves the field for those plays. Even the Saints have Brees leave the field sometimes when Taysom Hill comes in. A player comparison that arose from within the organization shortly after Hurts was drafted.

It's difficult to see the Eagles continuously do this ,even after consistent failure, and not feel like this is the most visible indicator of something more concerning occurring within the organization.

I don't want to dive too deep down a rabbit hole here but I felt the need to share this thought and I'm interested to see if others get a similar impression.
