All those gold medals (barring 1) were won in compound events. Jyoti, Parmeet and Aditi are compound archers.

Have you noticed the kind of equipment they use in both events? The recurve bows are quite rudimentary and shoot farther (70 m) while the compund bows are more sophisticated and shoot at a distance of 50 m. One other reason could be their formats. Recurve games are divided into smaller rounds and it is possible to stage dramatic late comebacks even when you are on the backfoot (something the Koreans excel at) - which makes the matches more exciting for a neutral viewer. Compound, otoh, rewards consistency (and not comebacks) and is designed as such.

Things might change in future though. Compound is getting more and more popular across all the major archery nations and there are talks of including it at the future games.
