Yeah ideally you want to do at least 1 jump seat observation flight (down and back) a week so you don’t forget anything.

No. Tell that to the captains I fly with on a regular basis that for one reason or another they are not getting a call. If you can do so, there is nothing stopping you from going somewhere else before you flow or before you hit a hypothetical interview benchmark.
In todays hiring environment you can get to a major relatively quick if you have kept your nose clean but as we all know that can change quickly. A flow is a guaranteed backup plan which we should all have.

In today's environment, you can get to a major quickly without flow. In the opposite environment, flow isn't going to help much anyway.
Flow programs are retention programs for regional airlines, and retention = stagnation.

Oh you mean the captains that haven't had their resume/app reviewed? the ones that haven't been to a job fair? the ones that don't do any extra involvement at work? the ones that don't volunteer outside of work? the ones that don't want to get a college degree online?

This past/current regional/major system is broken and you’ve obviously been apart of it for too long and you’re jaded. We don’t deserve an A/B scale. A flow or guaranteed interview gets everyone there that wants to be. It’s a long time coming and should’ve been here long ago.

Majors give their wholly owned regional programs like this to attract and retain pilots to those carriers. Endeavor, for example, spent years trying to negotiate their career progression and got the cold shoulder until Delta needed additional RJs and realized they needed something to keep people on property to staff flgihts. In contrast mainline carriers sign contracts with and pays a premium compared to wholly owneds to Skywest to make the day to day operations such as staffing someone else's problem. Mainline has no incentive to do anything to attract or keep pilots on property and it's all on Skywest to figure out how to fulfill their contracts.
