Just think of all the awful hack punk bands that would never have happened in the name of 'punk rock' that have been clogging up the world of music churning out their shitty 3 chord bollocks year after year for the last 40 years.

Not sure that would change anything.
First three-chord-songs have a mass appeal that Metal Box (great album by the way) just doesn't have.
Second the history of punk is not as linear as we are often led to believe, a lot of the more challenging music labeled as post-punk actually emerged simultaneously or even earlier than punk.
