Many people believed the packaging format of cabs was therefore designed for aging when in reality is is only marginally more beneficial for aging.

I always thought the idea was cigars aging against paper resulted in flavor not as good as cigars aging against wood, or wax paper. Something about the oils being absorbed by the paper (same with cardboard boxes acquiring a “papery” flavor) but not being absorbed by the wax paper, and the cigars absorbing some strength from resting against fragrant wood.

Can't recall hearing anything like that. SBN boxes are cigar-to-wood contact and I've never heard of anyone suggesting it was detrimental. And if course DBs are cigar-to-paper contact and I've also never heard of any serious person suggesting that that was something to be avoided.
