1:44 high is pretty good, but not so long ago a top 1500 runner was almost expected to be able to run 1:43
That is because there was less doping in the sport than today and runners needed speed to run the 1500. With increased doping to boost endurance "slower" runners can now compete successfully over the 1500.
Asbel Kiprop’s 800m PR was 1:43.15. His 3000m PR was 7:42.32. Rashid Ramzi was world champion in the 800m. He never ran a 3000 per his World Athletics page, but ran 8:13 for two miles the year he was stripped of his gold medal for doping. Your claim makes no sense at all.

But at the same time it wasn't that long ago that it was extremely rare for a top 1500m runner to be a sub 7.35 guy - and now you almost have to be at a sub 7.30 level to be up there. Look at the top 6 from Paris - all of them sub 7.30 guys except for Kessler and I'm pretty sure he's better than 7.35.06 (which isn't a bad time anyway).
The philosophy about how to train for and run a fast 1500m has just changed, that's all.
So the mods once again rule out that the change in philosophy has also been aided by doping - an incontrovertible fact. Is this a Chinese website where only approved views can remain?

what I have told you before, no one wants you on this site anymore, please go seek mental therapy as you desperately need it, which many have also said
