were the new stats/their caps dropped somewhere?

according to the reddit transcription thread:

Eh, expected stats to be boosted(kind of expected maybe some acc/eva and such but i guess base stats do that..) though a bit low for a start. Hope the equipment does something decent

3 years in this timeline is considered "new". Most players have never made a stage 4 prime, let alone a 5. And the first primes probably weren't complete until end of year 2023-early 2024. With that in mind, even Odyssey is still relatively current content for a lot of players who have never completed it.

They have been releasing things with an expected lifecycle of 2-3 years+ (look at Odyssey, Sortie, Dynamis-D and even Limbus grind). They consider everything in that to be their "new battle content" (see their emails they advertise to new players)

It's funny and true. I think with newer MMOs, XIV especially, I'd assume people got used to shorter patch cycles, 2 year expansion cycles, and gear that's constantly outdated and useless every 6 months.
