Also, 4 gate robo sounds low level simply because you can't support five protoss production facilities on one base. 3 gate robo is already only supportable with cutting probe production.
theres nothing low level about making a strategy that only requires a unit from a given structure (ie warp prism) to supplement an attack (ie 4 gate). You don't need to keep producing out of that structure at all
yes your 4 gate will be "weaker" but im 100% sure you would have been feeling juked if you saw a large army at your front when you scouted the robo bay and then suddenly 2 zealots are dropped in your minerals... yes you lose time by doing this, but you also lose time and units by having to fight your enemy's army straight up, especially if its a P forcefielding the ramp
right now the "metagame" feels like doing whatever day[9] says and trying anything else is dumb IMO
