The difference is that those engines were competitive.The 2GR-FSE had 306hp and was used in the IS350 from 2006-2017, and was replaced by the 311hp 2GR-FKS for 2018-2021.
Lexus does seem to be playing things a bit too conservatively on the engine front these days, but really when haven't they? Lexus used the 1UZ/3UZ engine relatively unchanged for 21 years from 1989 to 2010, ditto for the 2JZ-GE for 14 years from from 1991 to 2005, and the 1MZ/3MZ for 15 years from 1993 to 2008.

The worst part is that they have competitive motors developed, but they are in the wrong vehicles.
