Lots of legacy calibers did. Speed was the name of the game pre-rangefinders. High BC, accuracy, and brass life are the new game since everyone who shoots far is toting a rangefinder

Didn't the .280 Rem start life with the same problem?
The 280 started out as low pressure and mediocre velocity for use in Remingtons 760 jamomatic. Years later they upped the velocity and renamed it the 7mm express. People were confused and the name was changed back but the better velocity stayed, but too little, too late.
It’s a good example of many new cartridges that are introduced.
It was a direct competitor to the 270, and probably a better all around cartridge.
But the 270 was long established and the 280’s improvements over the 270 were too marginal to make much, if any difference in real applications.
