I think the 2020 season will be another snooze while teams focus on the future. What good does it to put millions into a set of dead design parameters? Many times teams will start the new season on last year's car. Expect to see a lot of that next year.
This all IMHO, of course.

I agree entirely. With all of the top team drivers returning to their seats, with no real incentive to continue to develop the current platform, 2020 will simply be a re-run of this year.
2021 shows promise. Everyone starts from a clean sheet. The new aero package limits are specifically targeted at the potential following distances. The new tires will be constructed to last longer under "full race" loads, without the artificial, contrived wear built into the current tires.
I think we would all like to think this will result in a hell bent for election, wheel to wheel racing from lights out to checkered flag. We'll see.
