Right now we got M19 which isn't even in standard anymore. Before that we had Ravnica sets which will rotate the soonest. When was the last time we had M20/WAR/Eldraine when they weren't the most recently released set? It's kind of hard to interpret this as anything else other than "we don't want people to have a chance to draft a format that will have legal cards in standard for years".
I don't mind that they sometimes don't have current set in ranked draft, but it doesn't seem like the rotation is evenly split at all.
