Help me understand Lepton universality

When energy in a given reaction is much larger than the masses of all leptons, these masses can be neglected. For example if you consider $W$ bosons decays, then $$M_W \gg m_\tau.$$ Tau is the heaviest among the charged leptons, so if you can neglect mass of the tau, you also can neglect masses of other leptons. But now you neglected the only quantity that distinguish between leptons. Except mass, all other characteristics (spin, charge, etc) are the same for $\tau$, $\mu$ and $e$. Since there is nothing that differentiate between leptons in the massless limit, all the decay rates and cross-sections have to be equal. For example $$\Gamma(W^+\rightarrow e^+ \nu_e )=\Gamma(W^+\rightarrow \mu^+ \nu_\mu ).$$ And this is what we call the lepton universality.
