>how much further ahead could Africa be without centuries of extraction, slavery, and imposed underdevelopment?
Not any further for most with maybe an exception to Egypt and Madagascar, everyone else wasn't developing. Ethiopia and Liberia should be the most powerful nations on the continent, yet Liberia is poor and Ethiopia has a real risk of balkanizing. The fact there are colonized countries with better HdI and development than those two means colonialisms influence is grossly overstated.
