So, therefore, it's incorrect to say that a "right hook doesn't exist" as clearly it does.

But when you go back to the older fights you'd see more right hooks. They'd a lot more ring time and that experience let them set it up comfortably. They mixed up their shots better too.

Certainly back in the days of fighting at least every couple of months when fighters were ending their careers on the regular with 75+ fights as you said they had much more hands on real experience to perfect their craft. In the era of this fighting twice a year BS that many of today's guys have grown comfortable with there seems to be less ability for in-ring development.
