I'm always glad when there's acknowledgement for the growth of characters, especially here since I actually like Pietro. This seems to go against a bit the idea that Wanda is actually suppressed atm tho.
I agree. But the thing that pisses me off is the writers with no respect for continuity, and in the future, I could honestly see Pietro getting shafted again because he's often treated like a running gag. Even recently in Uncanny Avengers 2023, he was knocked out through gas, which is honestly pretty stupid writing atp. But, I do have slight hope for him, since Orlando will continue writing him in Wanda's solo, and actually, Jed's writing him too in Avengers Issue 14 and onwards until Bloodhunt finishes, in case you're interested.
As for the last part, I can honestly see the confusion, but Orlando in the first issue confirmed Wanda's nerfed by sealing Chthon, again, implying that even releasing a sliver of his power is a big constraint on her. So from my perspective, I think he's trying to convey that she's growing in power while carrying that burden. Similar to how a marathon runner who wears weights for training will suddenly become more adjusted to those weights over time, and run faster the more he uses them, but once he removes those weights, he'll gain an even bigger burst.
