Indeed. It is scary how badly cars were performing in their small overlap tests.
Just for clarity, they did "frontal offset impact" tests a long time ago, small overlap however was a recent addition, you can see the difference between the two here[0].
So even in the early 2000s vehicles did improve for frontal offset impacts, they just improved further in the last couple of years with the small overlap tests.
