I think a lot of this is down to pandemic delays plus Chadwick Bosemans death. There was supposed to be a lot more of the big characters earlier but everything was delayed by about a year. They had to change a lot of plans accordingly, MoM was supposed to lead into NWH, Wakanda Forever was supposed to feature TChalla, and so on. It seems they actually had more of a plan this time than the previous phases which were pretty made up as they went along at first, but then reality struck. Also the TV shows being so many and so clustered together makes the gaps feel longer than it is. Really its only been two and a half years since Phase 4 started and just over two years since the first film of that phase.

Of course lets not exaggerate. Two of the three most recent films were critically acclaimed and made $850 million. The MCU will probably be fine.
