It would be nice to see more of these top 3yos run at 4 and 5 just to see if they keep developing and run speed figures like we saw in prior generations.
IMO, it's really tough to do accurate comparisons of horses on figures across generations (despite the idealistic views of some figure makers lol), but it's clearly impossible if 2yo and 3yo horses are very lightly raced and then retired well before their physical maturity and experience on the track will allow them to show their best.
Maybe we should start hoping there's a flurry of late developing geldings so we can finally see top horses in action at their peaks.
