At least where I live, the 150 minutes before time is a side effect of Covid. A lot of airport staff were let go and restaffing with security clearances takes a while.
This summer was exceptional, it will go back to normal like 60 minutes for domestic travel and maybe 90 minutes for international travel.
Break even, time wise, here is around 500 km and then train is the better choice.
But there are a lot of destinations that can only be served realistically by airplanes and that is not likely to change much during my life time.
