The fact that some monks later viewed the bodhisatva path as more "enlightened" or desirable in terms of doing good has no significance in the ability to become liberated from suffering.

It's not a matter of faith which doctrine is more great. And you yourself ponder. Who is more great: The one who sits in his corner (monastery) quietly there that studies soothes his consciousness .. and believes that he moves somewhere (to higher worlds) Or that who deliberately destroying worldly desire and calming the mind goes and sacrifices this state of calming the mind and its energy for the benefit of all living beings?
Practitioners of Mahayana are in fact more broad-minded and soulful and conscious.
And if you were in India or Tibet, you immediately noticed that the monasteries of practicing mahayana are richer. Because the laymen naturally sacrifice money for them. And the Hinayanki hiding from all eternally live in starvation.
And according to the level of achievement and the supernatural forces, practitioners of Mahayana or Tantra Vajrayana are always several orders of magnitude stronger. Because the driving force in practice is the merit of saving sentient beings. Practitioners of Hinayana do not bother to spread the law and are given little by the law of karma.
Opposite the spreading Dammu Gods or more advanced practitioners will give you a more perfect law and raise your level of achievement. They will pour in the holy energy that you have spent for others for their sake.
This is the secret of the great path of Boddisattva. And the guarantee of their success.
Buddha Sakyamuni disseminated the teachings, accumulated merit and practiced after attaining the level of samadhi and gaining 6 divine abilities, four asanjakas and 100 thousand kalpas. This period of time is close to infinity.
Therefore, the initiation (transmission of energy and data) from such a soul simply led very quickly to achieve the liberation of all who were nearby.
Here I am talking about the importance of a true master capable of giving such initiations.
