I'm thinking maybe the head writer was planning on a 5 season arc, but Cinemax unexpectedly limited them to 4. The flashbacks are key plot points that were intended to be part of the penultimate season. They easily could have squeezed in another season with Proctor becoming mayor, Rebecca doing stuff behind his back, Hood Carrie and Sugar on a hopeless search for Job, etc.
It would have been better that way. Best show ever on Cinemax, and the Knick is the only other one that even came close.
