I wouldn't have brought this up a few months ago but I remember it being mentioned as the in-universe reasoning for the EX-Gears (and that the VF-27 has an even more advanced dampening system).
In any case, for the 25's and 27's, it's possible the newer inertial dampening systems have brought the disparity between the limiters (for the pilots) and the physical capabilities of the fighters close enough that a PPB no longer makes sense.
This does not change how in the past, it was not the case, and that the performance budget of a PPB was more than enough to absorb the cost of the PPB.
This was my original statement that weight considerations might not be necessary for the PPB. I never was trying to contradict you but was bringing up an additional factor.
