(325) 4 " Edward Plays" written by 4 different dramatists in London within a few years?

Is it conceivable all,

that within a few years 4 "King Edward historical royal dramas (I- IV)" were composed in the same city (London) in the same diction and fashion by 4 different dramatists with no established evidence of a personal connection!

In the last decade of the 16th century within a few years 4 History Plays dealing with the Kings Edward I , II, III and  IV, written by 4 different "dramatist brains",  were staged in London, with no proven connection between them during their lifetime?
Only Edward II (Marlowe)  was not printed anonymously. It has frequently been claimed that Edward III was at least partly written by
William Shakespeare, a view that Shakespeare scholars have increasingly endorsed.

     →Edward I       (attributed to Peele ? )             1593
     →
Edward  II    (Marlowe)                               1594
     →
Edward III   (attributed toShakespeare?)    1596 (not included in The First Folio)
     →
Edward IV    (attributed to Heywood ?)       1599


For Edward III Shakespeare scholars have increasingly endorsed  that it was at least partly written by William Shakespeare. It  contains several gibes at Scotland and the Scottish People.  This could explain why the play was not included in the First Folio of Shakespeare's works, which was published after the Scottish King James had succeeded to the English throne in 1603


Conclusion: It seems neither realistic nor  conceivable  that within a few years 4 "King Edward (I- IV)" historical royal dramas  were composed in London in a similar diction and fashion by 4 dramatists with no established evidence of a personal Connection!

Why there has never been any credible attempt, to develop a consistent theory or explanatory hypothesis for this strange observation by academic Shakespeare experts?
