I'm old and somehow managed 30 years without knowing mine or anyone else's power values - Gen Insta can share away.
I am happy with the tested increase. It's hardly dick swinging if no one can compare anything to it. I'd have been happy with any increase. If I tested -10W I'd have posted that and then posed questions about why training wasn't improving power.
I'm not sure my 800W FTP and 2W/kg values are going to help you.
The idea isn't to look at other people, it's to ride and test and collect data to create a profile and then improve your power profile based on the events you're targeting and their requirements, addressing weaknesses, building strengths, etc.
