The whole point of the inverted pyramid was that editors/layout people could chop off the article at any point to fit the space available and have it still make sense, back when newspapers were laid out in columns and on physical pages. It's not an idealized platonic form information transfer.
"Studies of 19th-century news stories in American newspapers, however, suggest that the form spread several decades later than the telegraph, possibly because the reform era's social and educational forces encouraged factual reporting rather than more interpretive narrative styles.[2]"
Nothing in this thread requires "narratives being conveyed in only a couple bullet points" and that also isn't what the inverse pyramid is about. The inverse pyramid is about the ordering of information, not the level of detail or quantity.
