Totally agree; it's outlived its usefulness in this new age of hyper-polarization. It's a much more useful data point to look at a specific result in the context of that election, rather than average them over time and completely ignore the context of each of the elections involved. Given how much things shift over time, it's sometimes barely useful to use the previous election to predict the next one, let alone TWO previous elections.
I hate PVI. I prefer knowing how Harris did or how Biden did, not adding stuff together and trying to make up some fancy math crap for no reason.
