> Faster than Blake2/3? Not even close!

Blake2 was not created (December 2012) until after the SHA-3 competition, which ended on October 2012 (Keccak being the winner). It was Blake1 that was entered. Blake3 was released in 2020.

I'm sure a Keccak2/3 could have also been better than the original Keccak1, but that was not available either.

You never specified timing. You made a blanket statement as if it was still true.
