No, you didnt learn to utilize anything, maps just became bigger while Blizzard kept nerfing Terran early game which means they cant end the game off one base anymore.
People have been bitching about Protoss AOE since the game was released and Blizzard refuse to address the issue.
So T players are stuck with MMM, like it or not.
I personally dont mind, but shit got stale fast for many people so they either stopped playing or switched races.
Ultimately its Blizz's loss though

If we're going to look at helping Terran in TvP lategame, we should consequently help Protoss in that midgame. A chart taken from MLG Providence shows that in games that ended between 15-20 minutes Terran won 70 percent of the games. In games ending between 10-15 minutes it was 60 percent for Terran. The matchup is balanced as long as Terrans have an equally or greater advantage in the midgame to the lategame edge Terran has.

1-1-1 got nerfed? You can still win in the midgame, and you have a comfortable advantage there before lots of AoE gets out. Maybe there has been no adjusting of AoE because Blizzard doesnt think there should be. If you think your a brilliant balance designer than you should apply at blizzard, I'm sure you know so much more than all of their paid designers right now.

did you know colossus is underpowered at top level? /mindblown? If you actually watch top level PvT you'll notice that the Protoss is not mass aoe a-move gg nothing terran can do in lategame in fact its not uncommon at all for the terran to come out ahead in the big fights only for bringing in inbase templar and a second round of chargelots to even it out. The protoss are winning because they are essentially starving the Terrans out by keeping them on 3 base and always harassing the worker lines while the terrans are apparently ignoring the fact and losing many scv's or are making an orbital when a planetary should have been made. Winrates say terran is better.
why do people like you care so much about balance? even if Terran had a 70% winrate vs protoss what is that going to get you, a free league promotion? doubtful, more prize money? laughably doubtful, more fun? maybe at first until you win your away above your equally skilled protoss opponents and play stronger players and lose anyway.

Having larger maps makes 1-1-1 basically useless. For once Blizzard actually let the metagame (sort of) develop, although you guys did get an immortal range buff out of it. But like I said before, the HUGE rush distances basically make 1-1-1 an extinct strategy

And what's your point? There has not been a patch to PvT since before the event. The decreased cost of Protoss upgrades came before Providence. My point still stands because the dynamics of the matchup were the exact same 5 months ago. Nice try.

No it's not. Terran has no viable all ins which allows protoss to be extremely greedy. On the other hand, all Terrans now how powerfull Protoss all ins are...

Wait what? The huge rush distance still exists. We have warpgate to alleviate that, but any amount of scouting can detect an all-in from any race and allow proper preparation. Besides, t1 gateway units are just plain bad against MMM.

Leaving your bashing aside, as I play random nowadays, I care more about people who think they have ''figured'' out stuff' than the balance itself.
Mass AOE is not that strong due to the new maps.
Watch a 'pro' game on the good old chokefests such as Metalopolis and see if it doesnt turn into the classic 1a AOE protossball v a blob of marauders, provided the P survives the imminent 2 base push.

Well, if you want to fix Zerg early scout, then why not move the Overlord Speed upgrade to Hatchery with no tech requirements? Make it cost 100 minerals and 50 gas, or just 100 minerals.
EDIT: Come to think of it, Blizzard tends to fix balance by making certain units completely unviable in the game, like the Reaper or Thor. Especially Reaper, which was ridiculous early game, but without the speed upgrade it's completely useless. Maybe just make it a Tier 2 unit and give it the Speed Upgrade from the get-go? Make the Factory or Eng bay a tech requirement.

Good thing for you maybe, bad thing for Terran. Like my esteemed colleague just stated, protoss now has a hall pass to play greedy knowing terran cannot do anything about it

Ultimately its Blizz's loss though did you know colossus is underpowered at top level? /mindblown? If you actually watch top level PvT you'll notice that the Protoss is not mass aoe a-move gg nothing terran can do in lategame in fact its not uncommon at all for the terran to come out ahead in the big fights only for bringing in inbase templar and a second round of chargelots to even it out. The protoss are winning because they are essentially starving the Terrans out by keeping them on 3 base and always harassing the worker lines while the terrans are apparently ignoring the fact and losing many scv's or are making an orbital when a planetary should have been made. Winrates say terran is better. why do people like you care so much about balance? even if Terran had a 70% winrate vs protoss what is that going to get you, a free league promotion? doubtful, more prize money? laughably doubtful, more fun? maybe at first until you win your away above your equally skilled protoss opponents and play stronger players and lose anyway.
The colossus may be underpowered when expected, but like the ultralisk, an unexpected lategame switch into them is devastating for terrans.
The second part of your post is ignoring a very important aspect for people on these forums: fun while watching tournaments. I myself am low masters, so none of the balance changes would affect me apart from, as you pointed out, being a few extra points higher. On the other hand, I really enjoy watching top tier tournaments and as a viewer, lategame PvT right now can be a bit frustrating to watch.

david kim is a curse. the game is about as balanced as it could come, and yet he likes to knee jerk things. 2-3 months is nothing. what he should be looking into, as mentioned, is evening out the win rates between stages of the game.

Not important. Whats important: terrans have a higher chance of winning, and yet the forum whiners keep on QQing. Wow, talk about not getting the point. There is no point. The changes proposed by the whiners cant be done with a patch. You'll have to wait for HotS. What would be needed is a significant nerf to stim and medivacs, and a buff to thors/ravens/viking land mode. That would of course fuck up TvZ greatly. And the game is in a good place balance wise now. So of course Blizzard are not going to make a patch like that, and potentially break the game across all MUs.
Yes the game is balanced in the sense that Terran wins early, mid game and Protoss wins everything after that so the numbers are almost 50/50 but can you really say that such a game is in a "good place". I'd say not. David Kim and others have to get their shit together and fix what they have already realeased instead of sitting on their asses and coming up with ideas for HoTS.
While talking about HoTS.. why did they even come up with the idea of the shredder? Has anyone felt it was ever needed? I mean we already have supply walls, bunkers, sensor towers etc. why did they feel the need to develop that thing then? Thank god it was taken out, just like the replicator. Who pulled that idea out of their ass? I don't think they are addressing issues that are needed to address with the new units. They just add anything they come up with and hope the game will sell well.
Btw, has anyone thought about what a joke PvZ late game is? The mothership really ruins it for me at least as a spectator. They create their massive armies and it all ends with some bull shit spell that sucks upp the zerg's whole army and two archons destory it shortly afterwards leaving the zerg devastated and the protoss still around 200/200. Actually the fact that the mothership is removed in HoTS is actually really good. I really hope they don't change their mind.
And don't get me started on fungal growth and force field. Talk about boring spells. No real way to micro from it. That really bothers me as well as a spectator.
