Not really? SHA-2 was released in 2001:
* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-2
Blake3 was released 2020. I'm sure if the folks that created SHA-2 did a hash in 2020 they could do something better/faster as well.

I don't see why you're putting so much confidence that the original SHA-2 team could come up with a faster hash function. FWIW, SHA-3 is slower than SHA-2 although of course SHA-3 is a totally different construction from SHA-2 by design.
