indoors saw sub 4 miles by the fistful. how come in outdoors, they are so slow to develop? after all, they are building on their indoor training, rather than taking a break, unlike after xc.

Actually it isn't at all you moron. 3:41.02 is slightly superior in comparison. You must be a complete idiot to think it's "much more impressive"
Here a key element is that he has BOTH of these, so that a good 1500 makes him more dangerous in a 10,000 and bodes well for the 5000 as well. In addition, if he really was 1:55x for the last 800m, then he was at about 4 seconds slow to 4:00 pace for the first part and might be expected to get a 3:40 or better in the right race with just the same performance level.
Finally, it is just early April and he has this in the bag already. Thus, he can peak for Nationals (although it is easier to get good early down in FL).

Actually they do take a bit of a break from speed training and reload to peak in June.
Also, with regionals, they are not aiming at a time qualifier, they have to race there way to Nationals.
This produces generally different tactics and approaches to the season than for indoors.
How much better of a coach is Bob Braman than Ron Warhurst?
