What’s annoying too is that the movies do that exact post-timeskip formula even before Oda did it, where it focuses on new lame characters and the SH are sidelined.
I wish at least these movies (which Oda sees) have Strawhat focus.
It’s not like their stories are interseting either. People go to see their favs and SH are one of the biggest reasons. Focus on them there if you think there’s no time for them in the original story.

Little garden is 15 chapters and most of the crew did absolutely nothing
You have a problem with the last 30 chapter and they already did infinitely more, ignoring that's the only thing they did
I see the issue with pacing absolutely and I have criticism with the arc myself but the relevancy of the SHs ain't it, which is the topic
Idk what you’re talking about despite Little Garden being that short, it still had way more focus on them. This is just one example but the first result I got from searching “OP Little garden Manga”
You will never see a page like this for Starwhats in recent chapters. A whole page just for Usopp and Nami but their interaction seems natural and you can see depth in the characters thoughts.
Now you only get these kinds of pages for new characters to the point it gets annoying. While SH are only shown when they’re used as a plot tool to move these new characters or Luffy.
And even when they show up they’re usually drawn in small panels and limited to their respective gags.
