Oh, I see. Well, that just makes no sense. If we watch any Men's skating for instance, the vast majority of the mid-end skaters do have 3As yet have no quads. Heck, even with the quadsters there are several more ladies with 3As than quads.
I do think it is more about the points. We saw a lot of 3A attempts in the past (Ito, Harding, Asada, Nagasu, Nelidina, Nakano, Kihara, Meissner, Onda, with the first 7 landing successful ones) and only a handful of quad attempts (Bonaly, Cohen, Ando, with Ando the only successful one) before this generation of Russian juniors started landing them. It's also interesting to note that no quads have been landed at the senior level, while most of the 3A's have been.
Edit: Forgot to include Liza and her 3A, making 8 women successfully landing the jump internationally
