I agree with you. I feel like the numbers start getting weird at 5 iron. Most pros are pulling 6 iron for a 200 yard shot.
Because they're trying to hit a certain spot and not necessarily that exact yardage .. If I have a shot into a green at 200 yards I'm not hitting a club that flies that distance because if I catch a flyer and get 10 extra yards I may put myself in danger.. It all depends on firmness of green, slope , grain , dry or wet... A lot of factors play into a shot.. Not just oh I have 200 to the pin I need to hit my 200 club.. that's not smart golf

When I or anyone thinks “what’s your distance”, it’s the distance of a stock shot with that club. Including knock downs etc etc is skewing data
