Death note released with English dubs between 2007 and 2009, that’s 15 years minimum.
Dragonball had several dubs attempted in the 90’s, but the version that stuck and is the one most people remember watching on cartoon Network was between 2001 and 2003, that’s 21 years minimum.
Where are you getting 7 and 15? Also, what do you mean by “fixing”? Where did that come up in the conversation at all? This is about western companies taking an interest in anime “before” vs “now”, not about fixing anything. You brought up unfaithful adaptions for western audiences, which can only refer to dubs as it’s not like the animation was changed.
7 and 15 years ago respectively. But regardless, how would dubs be considered fixing?

Ah, I understand my confusion now. I had completely memory-holed the string of live-action movie adaptions 😂
