What do you mean F1 now is like getting edged for an hour and a half? What specific era would you prefer going back to? Aside from RB the teams a much closer than recent history.
Battles don’t necessarily have to be overtakes. Although there were great overtakes (or at least attempts) with Bearman, Albon, and Piastri. Piastri’s long stint and the Kmag- Hulk strategy were also exciting.
And of course there is the overall closeness of the teams. Track to track there’s no clear pecking order (excluding RB), even if within a particular weekend teams aren’t necessarily close.

People see the past with rose tinted glasses. The only reason races used to have several different winners in the past was because reliability used to be atrocious which meant that even in a season with a dominant car, others would win a several times through attrition.
What used to worse was that the field spread used to be massive (4-5 seconds) and only the top 6 used to get points so even the midfield used to boring.
Yes while we are seeing more dominant runs and less variation in winners, the general quality of racing has improved.
I couldn’t agree more. People who don’t like fundamental differences in car performance would enjoy spec series much more than F1. F1 not being a spec series and still having this close of racing is pretty great.
