This is your presumption. The amount of "customs" that were decidedly not-Jewish are noteworthy and make a general reference that Paul was creating churches with Jewish customs in the Gentile world.
Besides, when discussing some of his "this way" kind of teachings, he stopped short and declared that there is no such custom in the churches.
So Jesus, and Paul, were busy throwing off the forms and customs . . . . except for assembly boundaries and what to do with those second-class women.
For a group that claims no more law, you sure have a lot of laws.
