And Merc is likely already working on the PU for 2026 and beyond.

So my question is why were all others so short sighted then, and why aren't they working on next gen PUs now?

Merc will only secure their future victories by being long sighted. None of this is cheating. It's strategic thinking. When you plan far enough ahead, you give yourself the time to develop better solutions sooner, and give yourself more options in the possible solution space.
