Compare the relative size of the goal and the game pieces in 2009 and 2017. It's much closer than you think!
And, many teams did shoot high in the air, they just converted their shooters to shoot down so that the ball landed in the goal sooner after the shot was taken. Accurate repeatable arc shots with multiple ball wide shooters were clearly demonstrated, just suboptimal for that game.
Don't knock it before you prototype it. If your shooter "wheels" and/or backboard are a uniform thickness / speed / etc, isn't the shot consistent across the shooter width?
