The experience is only hampered by loads of rev hang, which locks the RPM where you left it while you’re rowing into the next gear.

Rev hang is still there according to Jalopnik's review of the 2022 hatchback. I don't think there's a lot they can do about this as it's about managing emissions (granted the amount of rev hang varies by engine).
Re: only 200hp for the last bajillion years. While the Integra is probably a reason not to put the 2.0T in I suspect it's just too much motor for what the Si has represented which is a slightly jazzed up Civic. If the Accord's 2.0T can do 0-60 in 5.5 seconds (what a sleeper) what does the Si do with that same motor? Way too close for comfort to the CTR and not in line with what the Si is and has been.
And there's no engine in the line up that offers a nicer balance - 220-230hp isn't available unless they detune the K20C4 and Honda probably doesn't want to do it due to low volume.
