Several were 35 or 36 or older.
Aside from somehow landing a Paul Skenes you probably aren’t going to be able to field the most elite pitching staff before those pictures start earning market value. And even skenes will probably continue to get better as he approach s 30 and gets a lot more expensive.

A lot of the best don't even peak until they are with their 2nd or 3rd team.
How many today would have held onto a Warren Spahn for his entire 21 year career until he was 43 years old?

Ummm, free agency has allowed players to dictate their career pathways. You eventually are going to disclose a relevant point, aren't you?
