Unpopular opinion - the EigenLayer point system is horrible. Points are linear in time and stake, so individuals who got in early in relatively small size, and now being "diluted" by pools who came in late but at size. So if someone sat out 9  months, and came in with 10X of the pool capital for one month, he gets 50%.

Scientist by day, other things at night.

Writing complex and nuanced takes, viewed by few, appreciated by none.

I think it depends on what you’re optimizing for. Your proposed change would reward TVL less and early adoption more. If that resulted in less TVL it’d hurt EigenLayer’s success since it would directly reduce the restaking security

TLV isn't really used until restaking goes live. At this point it's for attention (important, for AVS development, integration). So IMO, time, particularly being early, needs to weighed nonlinearly.
