That’s much longer than my practice, so it makes me wonder if the less impressive results of meditation are caused by people like me that do 5–15 minutes.

I’ve deep trauma that psychotherapy helped, but I can’t say meditation does anything for me besides calming me down for the next hour or two.

Maybe you try a three day meditation retreat and see if you can benefit from going much deeper.

I'm nowhere qualified to give an objective answer, but for me, doing a 15 min meditation feels more comparable to a power nap. I feel refreshed, but I won't gain insights about myself.
