I guess you mean there can't be a mix of I2C and I3C masters on the same
bus. Then yes, you're right, you can only connect I2C slaves on an I3C
bus, but I don't think Wolfram suggested this approach to support this
case.
Note that there can be multiple I3C masters on an I3C bus. When a
'secondary master' wants to become the current master it must ask the
permission to the 'current master' which can decide to ack or nack the
request.
As soon as the previous 'current master' accepted to release the bus it
should act as a slave and if it needs to reclaim the bus, it should ask
the new 'current master'.
