The game evolves due to change in environment...
There have always been freaky long hitters but i guess the comparatively small sweetspots ( and penalty of missing it) meant that they never thrived and survived in the days of persimmon...

In the era of 460 cc and high MOI where the penalty for missing the COG of clubface by 1/2 inch is still a ball in play.... then the uber-long hitters can thrive!! In fact not only thrive but take over the game!

Are the Finau boys any stronger than the bullishly strong Palmer or Nicklaus in their youth??

Probably not - but they are allowed to use their strength to swing in such a way that small mishits are of no functional consequence.

IMO...

Let the guys keep the grooves, the balls.... just roll back the MOI and clubhead size of the woods.... and make them wooden again. Pay the penalty of a 125 mph swing with 1/2 inch mishit!!!
