Hmm... This is not the standard way how we display MBLD results. Is there a wider community consensus on this?

Yes, the linked issue https://github.com/thewca/worldcubeassociation.org/issues/4426 has all the relevant discussion! Here is the link to forum poll as well!

I am not comfortable introducing this change based on a 4-year-old community poll with 79 anonymous responses.

If we are going to fundamentally change the way MBLD results are displayed, then this could have broad-ranging implications. Essentially, through this PR you are introducing a new, never-before-seen "MBLD format". It will introduce an inconsistency to other places where MBLD results are written, for example on the profile pages.

If we want to keep it consistent, we would need to introduce this "new MBLD" format everywhere. And if we really do that, we need to do much, much better than 79 random forum users. Also, if we end up deciding to do this, then does this also imply that on scoresheets at competitions all around the world, you would need to start writing down "points (solved/attempted) time" in handwriting on the scoresheets?
