I think if I understand you're comment, you're asking why JWST doesn't look at more modern astronomical structures, rather than those closer to the beginning of the universe? We actually have a lot more data on astronomical objects in the late, more recent universe, than we do on the early-universe ones. This is because early-universe objects are all very far away, and their light is harder to detect. This is why it's more useful for JWST to focus on the early-universe objects.
