*shrug* recording date is not a very useful measure. They had 2 original songs released in 1970.

Not a useful measure for me. I consider them ending in 1970 with their last releases from their last album. I do not count the many re-releases done after that however since those were more for the record companies coffers than anything else.
That's perfectly valid. But the discussion was regarding the rate at which they wrote hit songs; so for that, it's 1969. They didn't write or record any songs in 1970. If the discussion was album releases, or Billboard hits for 1970, the release date would be the one to use.
The last song recorded by the Beatles – not counting the John Lennon demos of Free As A Bird and Real Love which Paul, George and Ringo completed in 1994 and 1995, respectively – was I Me Mine. Paul, George and Ringo recorded I Me Mine January 3, 1970 at Abbey Road Studios. John didn't take part because he and Yoko were vacationing in Denmark at the time.
In 1994, Paul, George and Ringo completed Free As A Bird, which John had recorded as a demo in 1977. Released as a single in December 1995, the song reached #6 on the Hot 100 and netted the Beatles a Grammy award for best pop vocal group – 26 years after they broke up! The video includes two Blue Meanies and Eleanor Rigby's gravestone.
Here is John's original demo:

John Lennon formed the Quarrymen in 1956. Paul McCartney joined the band in 1957. George Harrison joined in 1958. Pete Best and Stu Sutcliffe joined in 1960. In March 1960, John, Paul, George and Stu formed the Silver Beetles. Drummer Tommy Moore joined in May. In August, Pete Best replaced Moore and the group became the Beatles. Ringo Starr replaced Best in 1962. Five members of the Quarrymen reunited in 1997. With three original members, the Quarrymen are still together in 2023.
The Beatles started out as the Quarrymen, but the earlier band flourished without them
Many believe that once The Beatles were formed, the Quarrymen ceased to exist. Nothing could be further from the truth.
