I guess the best way to compare it would be to examine gear of the raiders a few months after Velious release, and then again a year after - as the original timeline would have had a Luclin release.
By this time on Green server, following the original timelines releases alongside the Green releases:
Velious (released on Green: July 2021)
Luclin (July 2022)
Planes of Power (May 2023)
Legacy of Ykesha (October 2023)
Lost Dungeons of Norrath (April 2024)
Gates of Discord (September 2024)
Omens of War (April 2025)
These would have all been released by now on Green - had the expansion timeline continued.
Also, Dragons of Norrath would release in November-December 2025.
So, to put it in perspective: Imagine how many BiS toons there'd be if Luclin was delayed for 4.5 years, then you'd maybe see the same amount of BiS toons as you do today.

I think its even worse than that because a) people had to learn the zones and mobs and mechanics b) probably wiped a lot without voice comms and access to cleric bots ie would sometimes go in with less than optimal composition c) we all sucked most people didnt know basic commands /rt /tt or perhaps even assist macros
I am not sure how long it took for mobs like vulak to to die and by then how consistently it did in just under a year
