The August bulletin currently lists April 2010 for India EB-3 (October 2017 for EB-1).

If you go back through the last few years of bulletins, this 9 year wait has been relatively stable. Unless you believe there's been a massive spike in applicants in the past few years, there's no reason to believe the current wait for new applicants is 50 or 70 years.

I don't think that's quite right. Have a look at Indian EB-2 . The August 2014 bulletin [2] lists the current year as 22JAN09 which has moved to 02MAY09 in the August 2019 bulletin [1]. This means that in the last 5 years, they have moved from Jan09 -> May09. Very stable!
