DBZ had 10 Chapters between two Timeskips

#1
For all the Love DBZ gets, it also has some of the Laziest writing in Manga. After Frieza's defeat there is a Year and Half Timeskip, followed by Ten Chapters then immediately into a 3 Year Timeskip. If any other series tried that it would be considered the peak of Laziness. 4.5 years in 12 chapters where nothing happens.

Would you have rather had 10 more chapters of boring ass interactions between the nonfighters, while Goku & Co. train off-panel as to not reveal their progress too early?
The Mecha Frieza into Androids Saga set-up is perfect.
Here returns the Big Bad and we have nobody who can stop him! Shiiiiit! Oh, no, who's that guy? He killed Frieza in a single go? He's from the future? He's here to warn us about threats even he could do nothing about? Shieeeeeeeeeet, bro, let's go train.
