Just between you and me and the fencepost, speed with light arrows is what's selling bows, it's what's popular now......Why not? Because it doesn't fit neatly into their rationale for shooting very light arrows at 5-6 grains per pound, as fast as they can,....

Very nice Arthur!
The speed means less drop and less drop means higher scores during 3D shoots because you don't have to be as precise in range estimation!
The other factor you mentioned ... "at animals" dosn't even come into play as that isn't a primary thought with most of these bows.
Hunting set-up is a secondary concern these days. I shoot what I shoot because I hunt. I shoot 3D for hunting practice plain and simple.
I also know I am in the minority with you in a quite "slow" effective set-up
