Figured they'd have a higher floor just by virtue of people knowing them more and having more personal connection with them.

On the contrary, I think that the middle starters are completely forgettable nothing-Pokemon that people don't connect with because you spend most of the game the the final form and you see the first forms mostly promoted outside of the game. This particular aspect of the starter Pokemon (the middles being dex filler) is one thing that I personally feel has gotten worse over the years, and is a rare aspect which I would say that the earliest gens did better.
