It's a power-weight thing and if the climbs are short enough, maybe you can go into them faster. You have incredible power numbers.
It doesn't hurt to work on what you consider to be your limiters. I spent my first race season saying "I'm not a sprinter, I suck at crits" and then I worked on that and won some crits this year
You are having incredible crit success though, so maybe you just keep focusing on courses that suit you for now. However, don't write yourself off, maybe one season you decide to work on climbing and find you like it and are good at it.
