Not true. There could be currently ignored policies that would appeal to moderate voters, and if there are this would discover them.

Possibly you end up being neutral on such issues, i.e. individual candidates supported by the party can pick.

it's appealing to smart wealthy people who dislike partisan rancor to imagine a cordial technocratic centrist party of Bloombergs.
