I'm far, faaar to lazy to try and figure out what the true opportunity cost for either was. Without knowing that, can't honestly say. I would guess that on balance 88 was probably positive, 2010 totally negligible, and the 2026 would be negligible at best since the infrastructure legacy is so underwhelming and any notion of "increased profile/investment" because of hosting is such a humiliatingly bad point to try and make people should really stop making it. It's not 1988, and that is most definitely a 1988 argument.
