I didn’t think of it like that myself. People predicted Horizon and GT7 before the event and that didn’t diminish their hype in the slightest when we finally saw them in action. Great point. 

We had a lot of people saying it was impossible for GT7 because PD would take over 5 years after GTS to have anything ready, we didn't expect Insomniac to have a full RC and a standalone SM for PS5 because SM released not long ago. Just revisit the threads and you'll see people saying Sony wouldn't have much to release in 2020-2021 because of their studios releasing games in the last 3 years.

That’s just not true. It took 4 years between GT6 and GT Sport. 2021 lines up with their timetable. Even if it took more no harm in announcing the game even if it was 2 years away. Insomniac is a beast with making games quickly so it shouldn’t surprise anybody that they would have something. Horizon was 4 years after KZ in 2013 so it was most likely to be announced as well, even if it wouldn’t release this year.
